This tree came from a cutting off an old tree on my Grandparent's place. I figured it was a Celeste since that is the most common fig in Louisiana. What is your opinion?

i think you are right. However, is that the dominant leaf type?

This is another leaf from the same tree

It's a Celeste, yes.

Celeste in my area (Atlanta) have either dominant 3-lobe or 5-lobe leaves (or both).  Leaves are a poor indicator compared to fruit when it comes to Celeste. 

A felt-like or non-shiny skin with pronounced ribs on the fruit, which is about the size of a quarter with a small uniform stem leading to the fruit, void inside the fruit, strawberry to strawberr-red interior.... totally a Celeste.  Especially if the skin cracks when ripe.

Some may disagree.  I would bet money this is Celeste, or a Celeste variant.

PS - the fact that the fruit is ripening now, this early, is indicative of Celeste.

That's another 3-lobe. I meant any with more or less lobes?

  Another leaf.  The figs start ripening around July 1.

there you go! Mine started on 21 June. How old is yours?

Yes, that is one of the typical Celeste strains found in Louisiana.

Regarding leaf shape/nodes.............take a leaf that grew from a pruned off area of your tree and it will look like the leaf in the second picture. Likewise, fertilize your tree heavily and the new leaves that grow after fertilization will look like the one in the second picture. When that tree is old and mature almost all of the leaves of your tree will look like the one in the first picture.

 I rooted the first tree about 20 years ago. That tree is at I house I sold. I have a couple of trees about 10 years old and a couple 6 years old. This year I rooted about 15 trees. The original  tree I took the cutting from died in the 90's. It was probably 60+ years old.

very nice! would have thought yours would ripen before mine considering your location. Yours is also producing slightly bigger fruit. Any problem with fruit drop?

It is hard to find very many old fig trees in south Louisiana because those pesky hurricanes keep knocking them down every few years. 60 years is a good run for a fig tree down here. Katrina took out a very old fig tree that was in my grandmother's yard for about 80 years. The tree was so badly damaged that the new owners of the property decided to get rid of it. Celeste is a very good tasting all purpose fig which will be with us for many more years to come.

I haven't had a problem that I can tell with fruit drop.  I do try to keep them watered during dry periods.  Dan, my other grandparents fig trees died out about the same time. They were pretty large trees. I think the hard freezes in the 80's took their toll on them.
