This is the first crop ever for my Celeste fig tree. This was grown from a cutting. Celeste is a historic Southern variety. Some of the references say it won't bear in the Maritime Pacific Northwest, but they were written before climate change started accelerating. With a warmer season, maybe it will.
This tree is about 5 years from rooting the cutting. The breba crop fell off, but these main crop figs, while small, are so sweet and rich! And there are a few bowls full.
Celeste is also called "The Sugar Fig". Good name, these are very sweet. The darker figs usually have the richest flavor, and these are no exception.
