Because of its deliciously sweet medium-sized fig, the Celeste Fig is also known as the ‘Sugar Fig’! The Celeste Fig Tree is well known and widely planted, self-fertile, and low maintenance, aside from needing winter protection in freezing temperatures. Being a deciduous tree, your Celeste Fig Tree will lose its leaves in the colder seasons, and in the spring, it will bring back its bright green leaves and baby fruit! Its medium-sized figs have violet skin, rose-colored flesh, and a sugary sweet, rich flavor and taste. The figs' small, closed eye prevents fruit rot from insects and moisture, increasing fruit production - but watch out for the dried fruit beetle and other critters like squirrels and birds who may eat your fresh figs before you can harvest them!
