Why LSU Purple Fig Trees?
For a hardy tree that delivers super-sweet fruit with little effort, look no further than the LSU Purple Fig Tree. Bred by the Louisiana State University College of Agriculture for superior disease resistance and delicious fruit, the LSU Purple Fig is ideal for those who want easy growth and the promise of harvests from home.
And the LSU Fig produces fruit as early as the second year! Most fig trees take four to five years to reach full maturity and set fruit, but the LSU Purple Fig is capable of setting small crops of figs in its second or third year. Plus, with our bigger sizes, you could get fruit as soon as the very first growing season.
You can enjoy figs from April through December, indoors or out. Unlike other trees, the LSU Purple Fig has three fruiting seasons: a light crop in early spring, a large main crop in July and a late crop in November or even early December. This prolific bearer will have you eating sweet, healthy figs almost year-round, drying your own fruit for storage or making jams and preserves. With the sweet LSU Purple, the possibilities are endless, especially since it grows in a container...thriving wherever you place it. It's particularly well-suited to the Southeast and grows despite humid, hot conditions.

LSU Purple Fig
I have had my tree for about a month. It arrived looking very healthy and happy. I think it’s adjusting well to its new home in SWFL. I currently have 3 developing fig so I have not replanted it, but will do so in the fall after the harvest. I’m working to keep the pot cooler in the strong FL sun. But, so far so good!
Prefect tree for my pot
The tree arrived on time and was well packed. It was a nice size tree and exactly what I expected and hoped for. A nice surprise was several little figs already on the tree. I planted it in my new vego self watering rolling patio planter.

I am excited to see how LSU Purple grows in the coming years! All of my fig trees arrived so healthy! They are thriving! I'm so glad I bought from Fast Growing Trees!
