LSU Scott’s Black
Though Scott’s Black has the best flavor of all of the LSU varieties we have trialed, it is late and hates the rain, so we have culled it.
LSU Scott’s Black Fig Variety Features
- A common fig type, which does NOT require caprification
- An official release (2015) from the LSU fig collection (our favorite flavor of the LSU varieties)

- Very productive
- Fast grower
- Does well in pots

Col de Dame Grise VS/Not is very likely a synonym for Scott’s Black.
One of our favorites of the LSU varieties.
