(Cutting) Celeste Fig

Celeste 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 tree produces small, teardrop-shaped figs with beautiful bronze to violet-brown skin and a rich strawberry-pink to light red interior. The flesh is dense, smooth, and jammy, delivering an intensely sweet honey flavor complemented by delicate berry notes.

What truly distinguishes Celeste 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 consistently produces high-quality fruit even in warm, humid climates.

Whether you're planting your first fig tree or expanding an established collection, Celeste is an excellent choice for its exceptional flavor, dependable harvests, and outstanding adaptability.
