Adam, Marseilles Black VS is as much as a stud as LSU Purple at my house, my 3 gallon trees were impressive, they fruited this past fall after I rooted them in May.
My three, 7 gallon potted LSU Purples set 3 crops each, all were super sweet, I bet I could get 4 crops from these guys during a good year. Also got first time crops from Alma, Negronne, White Marseille, Improved Celeste, Scott's Black, Lemon, Royal Vineyard, Pasquale, and a few others I can't remember, all were very good until the rains in November.
I got a whole refrigerator drawer full of cuttings ready to go into the aeroponic cloner. Got the Col de Dame series, Black Madeira, and Galicia Negra, as well as numerous French, Portuguese, Italian, and US cultivars. Basically all the heavy hitters talked about on figs4fun and ourfigs.com. If all goes well, I will be open to trades by late spring.
