This is the first fig close to ripening on my Celestial. I am a little surprised by the color as it seems pretty light. I am wondering if this looks like the right color for this variety. Either way I am looking forward to my first taste of this fig. Now if I can just be patient enough to let it ripen properly. __________________ Shawn San Diego, CA Zone 10a Wishlist: Galicia Negra, Smith, Martinenca Rimada, Longue D'Aout (received thanks Gary), MBVS, CDD Blanc, Black Tuscan, Falls Gold Have (most are less than 1 year old): VdB, RdB, Celestial, Yellow Long Neck, Unk LSU TC, Magnolia, CDD Noir, CDD Grise, Maltese Falcon, Black Madera, Panache, Deanna, Peter's Honey, Vasilika Sika, Red Italian

I really like the appearance of it in your photo, with contrasting purple ribs. __________________ Dale non compost mentis in Zone 6a

Well I picked the fig in original photo yesterday and its brother today along with a RdB. Celestial was fantastic and RdB was pretty good in comparison. The first photo is from a couple days ago. Today it was really drooping a lot.
