Celeste Fig

Sweet as sugar with a smooth rich flavor. Fruit has violet skin and rose-colored flesh. Fruit is delightful fresh, but also dries beautifully. “Closed eye” when ripe; helps resist splitting and souring. One of the most widely planted fig trees. Needs winter protection. Pest- and disease-resistant. Minimal pruning needed. Grows well in containers! Heat-tolerant. Ripens in July. Self-pollinating.  zones  5-9
