Celeste Fig Tree – Compact, Hardy and Deliciously Sweet
Step into the world of homegrown delight with our Celeste Fig Tree. This compact, cold-hardy variety is known for its sweet, honey-like flavor and makes a wonderful addition to any garden.
Our Celeste Fig Tree bears plenty of small to medium-sized figs, acclaimed for their sweet, succulent taste. Wrapped in a lovely purplish-blue skin, the fruit encases a juicy, strawberry-colored pulp. Whether you relish them fresh off the tree or use them to create delicious preserves, these figs are sure to please.
With a generous harvest from mid to late summer, the Celeste Fig Tree offers an abundance of sweet treats to enhance your home garden’s bounty. Despite its ample yield, the tree maintains a compact growth habit, making it a great choice for small spaces, container growth, or as a striking addition to your garden landscape.
Not only is the Celeste Fig Tree a prolific producer, but it’s also one of the hardiest fig varieties. It shows resistance to common fig diseases and is tolerant of colder temperatures. As a self-fertile tree, there’s no need for a second tree for cross-pollination – a single tree will provide a bountiful harvest!
Beyond its fruitful yield, this tree offers lush, deeply lobed green leaves that make it a beautiful addition to your garden. The contrast between the foliage and the purplish-blue fruits is truly eye-catching.
Perfect for Fruitscaping™, bringing a touch of hardiness to your garden, or simply enjoying the satisfaction of harvesting homegrown figs, our Celeste Fig Tree is a fantastic choice. Order today and anticipate the pleasure of sweet, honey-like figs, fresh from your garden.

Fruitscaping™ with Fig Trees
Embrace the joy of Fruitscaping™ with our Fig Trees. Among the simplest and most rewarding fruiting plants to grow, figs are an excellent addition to any organic garden. Their inherent disease resistance and few pest issues can be managed easily without the need for harsh chemicals, ensuring a bountiful, eco-friendly harvest.
Our Fig trees exhibit a diverse palette of flavors, textures, and ripening seasons. Some varieties possess thin skins with succulent centers evoking the flavor of rich maple syrup – a delight when savored fresh from the tree. Other varieties offer a naturally sweet texture, perfect for drying or turning into delectable preserves.
With their compact growth habit, fig trees are perfect for integrating into the shrubbery border, adding an attractive contrast with their broad, deeply lobed leaves. Consider pairing these distinctive trees with the elegant pomegranate and the fine-textured blueberry bushes for a stunning visual mix. Complement this arrangement with a lush undergrowth of strawberries, creating a cycle of blooming flowers, ripening fruit, and vibrant fall colors.
The young fig tree’s smooth, flexible trunk lends itself to creative gardening techniques. Train it into an espalier for a living wall, or twist it into a striking specimen tree. If you’re dealing with limited space, lay the trunk flat against the ground, and watch as the vertical shoots transform into a natural, green hedge.
Fig trees are also well-suited to container gardening. The root restriction of a pot often encourages the tree to produce even more prolific crops. So, if you’re an urban gardener or short on garden space, our fig trees will prove a perfect fit.
Embrace the ease and joy of Fruitscaping™ with Fig Trees. Enjoy the journey from planting and care to the sweet reward of your homegrown figs.

Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
