Description

An official release from the LSU fig collection. ‘Tiger’ was selected from a group of seedlings from a cross of ‘Celeste’ and ‘C1’. ‘C1’ is a designation given to a caprifig obtained from the University of California at Riverside in 1950. The cross was made in 1957. The selection was made by Ed O’Rourke in 1961, and tested as L57-13-121. This selection was named ‘Tiger’ because the fruit has longitudinal stripes in the immature stage, and it is the LSU Tigers mascot.
