LSU Gold Fig Tree – 5 Gallon Pot

---

Another fantastic release from Louisiana State University breeding program, the LSU Gold Fig is a fast grower producing abundant, large golden fruits with delectably delicious ruby flesh that tastes like pears and honey! Excellent eaten fresh, but also dries well and is great for preserves. Selected for the Southeast, the fruit resists spoiling in hot and humid conditions but performs well in cooler climates because it ripens early. Will produce a second crop in fall in warmer climates. A fast-grower and heavy producer, LSU Gold grows well in containers or the ground. One of the easiest fruits to grow, and a true gourmet delight, you should not live your life without feasting on this sweet, delectable fruit.

NOTE: As with all of our other plants and trees, all of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Interested in edible landscaping? What could be more enjoyable and rewarding than installing a landscape you can eat? Fig trees are fine specimens for use in the edible landscape. Their large and bold leaves provide a tropical effect in the landscape and you’ll be rewarded with loads of delicious figs! LSU Gold grows to about 15 feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide so give it ample room to grow.

Fig trees will grow reasonably well in most soil types. They produce the best fruit in moderately to slightly acidic, moist but well-drained fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. In soil with low fertility it’ll be worth your time to mix in some organic compost to the native soil. They like the soil to hold a good supply of water, especially when the fruits are developing in summer, but not so much water that the soil stays constantly soggy or wet, which can be problematic. The best and most fruits will are produced when trees are growing in full sun. However, fig trees that receive a little shade during the hottest part of summer days will still produce good crops.
