Tiny Cutting

I was very excited to get the LSU
Description says it will fruit the first year however the one I received is a tiny cutting. It is about 5" tall and thinner than a #2 pencil.
Will definitely be a nice surprise if it fruits in a year.

Wow

This is reporting on a one year old plant. It has been producing fruit for over a month, with many young figs growing here in zone 9., central Fla. the fruit is delicious, ripen quickly once size is reached. Even my DH likes them better than my standard fig tree. Yes, I would buy again.
