The Celeste Fig tree, sometimes called Celestial or Sugar fig, is known for producing delicious, sweet fruit with rose colored to violet skin. This variety is more cold hardy than most other types of figs and is a favorite to grow in California and throughout the southeastern United States. It is also heat tolerant. This tree is known for being pest and disease resistant. It is a closed eye fig, meaning the small hole that naturally exists at the apex of the fruit is closed, keeping out natural pests like wasps. Having a closed eye, the Celeste Fig can produce more ripe fruit that doesn’t spoil during the growing season. It’s delicious when eaten fresh off the tree but can also be made into jam or dried. Grow in full sun for optimum fruiting. This tree is self pollinating and grows to a height & width of 7-10' when mature. Hardy in zones 6-9.
