My LSU Gold fruits earlier than Chicago Hardy here in zone 7a. Although it is hardy for me here, it was marketed as less cold tolerant and better for the deep south.

However, I have not observed any enhanced cold tenderness for LSU Gold at my site compared to my other varieties (Celeste, Bullard Celeste type, Brown Turkey, Violet de Bordeaux, Chicago Hardy, Petite Negri, Lattarulla).

Improved. LSU Purple was not an early ripener for me, nor is Hardy
Chicago...

There is at least a couple of varieties brought to this country via Italy
that are grown in the Bronx and ripen as early as LSU Purple. I have one
and it is somewhat larger and much more prolific for me than either LSU
purple or Hardy Chicago. My LSU Purple ripens at the same time as Hardy
Chicago as well, so maybe you are talking about another one of their
selections.
