Description
The LSU Cherry Bomb fig is just another Celeste variety with a flashy, made-up name. Despite the hype, this fig is indistinguishable from a standard Celeste, a widely grown and readily available variety. The name was coined by an individual notorious for renaming common, cheaper fig varieties and marketing them as something "rare" or "exclusive." In reality, LSU Cherry Bomb offers nothing new—same small to medium size, same brownish-purple skin, and the same sweet, honey-like interior as Celeste.
Adding to the absurdity, the person pushing this so-called variety is infamous for silencing any skepticism. If you so much as question the background of his figs—or even react with a simple smiley emoji on his posts—you're instantly blocked from his Facebook group. This relentless effort to control the narrative only reinforces what many already know: LSU Cherry Bomb is nothing but a renamed Celeste, dressed up with a gimmicky title.

He kicked me out of the FB group for giving him the laugh emoji. He took over some of my ISO post on FB last year. When I was looking for Black Celeste. He hyped up quite a few figs and never released some ( Cajun Honey) or they did not live up to the hype. He did promote smith which is a good fig. This fig may be great for him but I know if I were him I would share it and get other peoples opinion on it before charging big bucks. If it is that good why not let other people taste it and let them speak for you. I think LSU really needs to step in and decide what figs should be in the LSU collection. He did tell me last year he was going to get intouch with me after his much needed eye surgery that never never happened.

His page came up in my Facebook feed and I was reading it before I realized who it was from.
It makes me feel sullied to read. It screams charlatan. And the comments of praise that follow his post… makes me think that the saying that there’s a sucker born every minute hasn’t kept up with the population.
