Greetings Fellow figgy people, I will be doing a fall pruning soon and if there is anyone interested I would be happy to send you cuttings for free if you would pay the postage.

I am interested. Is it an Improved by any chance?

Gloria: You are nice, thanks for sharing.

Best,

I do not think it is improved,  I tried to add photos but it wouldn't let me... you can see the tree and some figs on my profile

How many lobes do the leaves have? Do you get many breba figs? 1 & 3 lobes on that tree= Improved Celeste O'Rourke Not. Mostly 5 lobes= Some variety of Celeste.

The leaves have 1 and 3 lobes none that are 5. It's first crop is hugh, this year I filled a large bowl (pictured on my profile) at least 7-10 times. The second crop is a lot fewer and more spaced out. When the first one starts to ripen you can pick figs in the morning and have a new crop in the afternoon. 

If it's Improved Celeste i will like some cuttings pls

How do the taste?

Isn't a regular Celeste very small ? I have 4 feet Celeste in a 10 gallon pot and produced 20 fix the size of a quarter coin

If you go to this posting my tree is exactly like the ones posted http://www.figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/improved-celeste-and-floreathe-earliest-varieties-to-ripehere-6194500
... you can see a picture of my tree on my profile... all of a sudden I can't post pictures... says I don't have permission to perform this action.

I would be very interested! I might have a few cuttings I could trade as well if you are interested. Just not sure of the varieties.

I am interested. Thanks.

When do you expect them to be ready? 

Cool, just send me a PM or email and let me know how many you want and if you a preference on the size and section of the branch...I am always happy to trade...I can plan on sending out some Monday or Tuesday next week.

Last Call, I will be sending out the cuttings Monday or Tuesday.

I would like some cuttings. This is my first post here. Do I send you a SASE? If so, send me a PM.

Thank you

Got the cuttings today. Thank you!

Can't wait for spring to root them. I'm assuming I'll have to keep them in cold storage until then.

Beautiful Pictures of the Celeste......Thanks for the Cuttings.......The Celeste fig I have has a different look......I guess some are darker and some are lighter.......maybe their is a few or many strains of Celeste...???   I have seen some almost as dark as Black Missions with a hint of red.

@Armando, yes there do seem to be a few different kinds, this to me is a very good one.
@Scott... don't forget to let me know how they do.

Will do! I shared with another member that sent cuttings everyday after I come home from work my 1 yr old daughter and I check the progress. Thank you again for your generosity!
