Celeste Fig Tree

Celeste Fig Tree Sugar Fig Ficus carica

Celeste fig trees are multi-branched shrubs and are one of the most frequently grown figs. They are pest and disease resistant but need winter protection from frost. They are heat tolerant and self-pollinating.

The small to medium-sized fruit is sweet like sugar with a smooth rich flavor. The outside skin is purplish-bronze to light brown and the flesh is rose-colored. When ripens in July, it is a "closed eye" that helps resist insects entering the fruit and spoilage. It is good for eating fresh.
