Ficus carica 'LSU Purple' is a hardy, highly productive fig developed by Louisiana State University. It produces medium-sized deep purple fruit with sweet, juicy flesh and can yield multiple crops in warm climates. This vigorous, upright grower thrives in full sun and hot, humid conditions and is known for good disease resistance and reliability. Its compact habit makes it suitable for containers or small gardens, and trees can begin producing fruit early in the season. It typically reaches 10–12 ft tall and wide in about 10 years and is valued for its consistent harvests and rich flavor.
