This delectable treat is known as the “sugar fig” for its deliciously sweet flavor! The Celeste fig tree features violet-skinned fruit with a rose-colored flesh that is sugary sweet with a rich taste. This cultivar requires minimal pruning and aside from winter protection is a low maintenance tree. A small, closed eye on this fig prevents fruit rot from insects and moisture, thus increasing production. The Celeste is one of the most popular fig trees and is heat tolerant and self-pollinating. The Celeste is a compact tree making it suitable for container growing and small landscape spaces. It prefers full sun with loamy, well-drained soil and the fruit will begin to ripen in July.
