| Botanical Name | Ficus carica 'Celeste' |
| Description | Widely regarded as the best variety for the Gulf Coast, 'Celeste' produces an abundance of small, bronzy-purple figs with a rich, sugary flavor. Its "closed eye" design naturally resists insects and souring from our Houston humidity. This tree is exceptionally cold-hardy for a fig and is a reliable, vigorous producer for Willis area homeowners. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 10-15 feet tall x 10-15 feet wide |
| Water | Requires deep, regular watering until established. While drought-tolerant once mature, consistent moisture during the Willis summer prevents fruit drop and ensures a sweet harvest. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Chill Hours | 100 - 200 hours |
| Harvest Time | June to July |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
