Description
Celeste is a solid choice for anyone growing in a colder climate. It produces purple-ish medium-sized figs that are juicy with moderate sweetness. This is one of the earlier-ripening varieties and tends to have a tight eye and is resistant to splitting.
Description from FigDatabase.com:
Small to medium fig with light brown to violet skin and strawberry pulp. Pyriform with tapering neck. Small, closed eye. The eye remains green until the fig is almost ripe (unlike Brown Turkey). Very cold hardy. Excellent fig – arguably the finest Southern fig, but usually disappointing in California and the Southwest. Small chewy violet tinged over bronze colored figs with rosy amber flesh are packed full of flavor and great for drying (can almost dry on the tree). Widely adapted, and manageable tree. Early Ripening.
All of our fig cuttings contain at least 3 nodes, are between 6 – 12 inches long and at least 75% lignified.
