| Botanical Name | Ficus carica 'LSU Gold' |
| Description | Developed by the LSU AgCenter, this variety is specifically bred for the hot, humid Gulf Coast climate. It produces exceptionally large, flat-shaped figs with a beautiful gold skin. The fruit has a tight eye, which makes it highly resistant to souring and insects—a major advantage for growers in the Houston metro area. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 10-15 feet tall x 10-12 feet wide |
| Water | Requires regular watering during the first few seasons to establish a deep root system. Once established, it is quite hardy but benefits from mulching to preserve moisture in Willis. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Chill Hours | 100 - 200 hours |
| Harvest Time | July to August |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
