For those who grow celeste or celestial, do you ever get brebas? If yes, how many would you say you get a year?

I'm not finding much info on celeste + brebas leading me to believe they aren't known for them. Trying to decide if I should keep one or not.
Thanks.

Both of my Celestes produce brebas.  One year, I let several stay on each tree and they seemed to be ripening, but ended up tasting awful.  I now pick off any that try to form.

Maybe I'll keep one then and trial it in my cooler climate. Thanks for your help!
