Ficus carica 'LSU Gold' - Early Honey Fig

- large deciduous shrub or small tree
- spreading habit, attractive foliage
- large deeply lobed leaves are palmate and hairy
- inconspicuous green flowers turn into edible fruit
- ripe fruit has yellow-green skin with amber to red flesh
- excellent honey sweet flavor
- fruit has a Honey Fig flavor profile
- this cultivar was especially selected for hot and humid southeast, because it resists spoiling very well; also productive and vigorous, producing a good breba crop
- main fruit crop ripens in late summer or fall on new wood
- in some areas, a lesser (breba) crop may appear in spring on old wood
- this early season cultivar is among the earlier figs to produce, making it a better choice for short season climates
- ripe figs are tender enough to not transport well, so to enjoy this treat you kinda have to grow your own
- most cultivars develop fruit without cross-pollination
- stems die back to the ground in cold winters (zones 5-7), but can sprout from below ground to be a summer shrub
- needs extra protection to grow in zone 5, or bring containers in for the winter
- great in full sun to part shade, but needs at least 8 hours of sun daily to produce well
- best in rich, moist, well-drained soils
- generally grows 8-10 ft tall... or to 3-4 ft tall in cold climates where it dies back
- grows in zones 7-10; stems are hardy to zone 8, and roots are hardy to zone 5

- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp
- ships in cool spring, fall, or winter seasons; not during summer
- unrooted cuttings would be available in early fall as soon as dormancy sets in
