Celeste Fig (Honey/Sugar Fig) - Ficus carica

The Celeste fig, or Ficus carica, bears small fruit from early June to early Mid August. Like the fruit, the tree is also small (10-15 feet) if left unpruned. Great in hot, humid climates. Mature plants can withstand temperatures to zero degrees. If temperatures reach below zero, they will die back to the ground but will rebound in the spring. 

• Average mature height: 10-15 feet
• Light: Full sun
• Self-pollinating? Yes
• Soil: Well-drained. Will not tolerate excessively wet soil, but needs ample moisture during fruiting.
• Water: Keep moist
• Zones: 8-10

Growing method: Our figs are grown by tissue culture from mature cells, which is a superior method that produces healthier plants that can fruit much sooner than if they were grown by seed. None of our figs are grown from seed; the narrow stems indicate that they are grown from this premium tissue culture method and, within months, can grow large and robust.

Shipping Information: Our plants ship in 3-inch-deep pots when they are 3-6 inches tall so they can grow to maturity under your green thumb. 

Dormancy: This plant goes into dormancy in the fall and winter, so your plant may not have leaves when it arrives but it's still alive and well. In cooler weather, plants go dormant to conserve energy so they're ready to emerge lush and verdant in the spring.
