(Cutting) Celeste Fig

Celeste Fig is one of the most trusted and widely grown fig varieties, prized for its exceptional sweetness, outstanding reliability, and remarkable performance in humid climates. Its consistent productivity and natural resistance to rain-related issues have made it a favorite among home gardeners and collectors for generations.

The small, teardrop-shaped fruit features beautiful bronze to violet-brown skin surrounding dense, smooth, jammy flesh with a rich strawberry-pink to light red interior. Its intensely sweet honey flavor is complemented by delicate berry notes, making Celeste Fig one of the finest figs for fresh eating.

What truly distinguishes Celeste Fig is its ability to thrive where many other fig varieties struggle. Its tightly closed eye, naturally water-resistant skin, and classic teardrop shape help shed rain while minimizing splitting, spoilage, fermentation, and insect damage. Combined with its relatively short hang time and ability to dry well on the tree, Celeste Fig consistently produces outstanding fruit even in warm, humid climates.

Whether you're planting your first fig tree or expanding an established collection, Celeste Fig rewards growers with exceptional flavor, dependable harvests, and outstanding adaptability.
