It is valued for its attractive glossy reddish-purple to dark-purple fruits, pleasantly sweet flavour, productive growth and naturally closed fruit eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruits are generally medium-sized with an elongated to long-turbinate shape. At full maturity, the skin develops a rich reddish-purple to deep-purple colour, while the interior may range from light amber to strawberry-pink. The pulp becomes soft, juicy and pleasantly sweet when fully ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLSU Purple has a naturally closed fruit eye.
