Description

From Brian (CajunB)

I obtained this fig in Parks Louisiana,this gentleman bought it from a former employee of LSU who worked with Dr.O'Rourke on the fig breeding program,he's recollection of this fig was that it was a very early fig and ripened in South Louisiana on mother's day and it was a favorite of LSU. It was very high on there list to be released to public,but the program was shut down due to lack of funds,If had to keep just one fig this would be the one..........
