Greetings all, if you know me you know I have a giant Celeste tree that I think very highly of and she is getting a big trim this year. If you would like cuttings let me know i I'm asking for is the shipping, you can have as many as you like. they root very well and are great for experimenting with or school room projects. last year two class rooms got to play with cutting and grow trees... __________________ Gloria --------------- 7a, maybe 8

Is your Celeste different from the normal Celeste? __________________ Brian Wish list: Col de Dame

I'll edit too and we will be in sync. It doesn't drop it's figs, it produces one great crop as long as it is pruned. It will produce a breba that isn't nearly as good as it's main. __________________ Gloria --------------- 7a, maybe 8

If I remember correctly, Gloria's Celeste tastes like a nectarine or peachy. __________________ Zone 7A ~ Fort Smith area Arkansas

I think Charles has mine confused with someone else... might be Dennis that has a peachy one... mine is just sweet figgy.. __________________ Gloria --------------- 7a, maybe 8

I have a tree growing from Gloria's parent tree. I found that my Celestes do have somewhat of a nectarine taste. If the figs are over-ripe, they taste more sweet and figgy, but if they are picked just before over-ripe, mine have tasted like a nectarine. __________________ -Mike Tampa, FL Zone 9b.

At it again Gloria? I practically killed the cuttings you sent me, but they bounced back with vengeance and now I have more of your Celeste than any other variety. When I'm hanging out with my figs, I'll spot one that has just put on a nice set of healthy new leaves. I'll run over and check the label, excited to see which one of my trees is doing so well. I repeatedly find myself saying, "Oh, ANOTHER Celeste!" __________________ Paul the Fig Tree Destroyer in Fallbrook, CA (Zone 10A )
