I have a celeste, a hardy chicago, VDB one from EL the other From Raintree, LSU purple, and a Saltane from RT.  All are small and no fruit yet but have a 50x24 foot area set aside for two more fig trees.

Thank you both for your advice.  Always great to hear others first hand knowledge.

Hello fello fig lovers.  I am going to take a drive to Edible Landscaping and was wondering if anyone had purchased the above figs from them and if they were worth growing in the east coast area (VA).  I've never tasted a non dark fig.  I have room for 2 more figs.  I wanted to add a kathleen black and a gino's black but have not found any for sale.  Really want to fill the space......So what would you do?

oh yhea forgot about the Blanton tart cherry tree its 3 and on colt.  Guess it slipped my mind becuase its been a let down.  Small fruit and the only tree that has problems with the heat and humidity in Virginia.

thanks Dominick!

I'm a new to this myself, but there are figs that need a wasp to pollinate them so that they can ripen the fruit.  If they are not pollinated the fruit that forms falls off.  Again, I'm no expert.  Got all my info from this site the last few months.  Hopefully one of the many members who are will see this and respond. 

My vote goes to VDB all ripe figs are very good.  Celeste are hit or miss.  Some are very good others not so much.  Can't figure out how the same tree can have such a wide spectrum of flavor.

The celeste fig from Willis was part of my first online fruit tree purchase.  No figs yet.  I bought it along with six nectarine trees last spring.  The price was right.  Five of the six are either a peach or nectarine.  They have not born fruit either, but the leaves and trees look like my older peach tree.  One is not even in the peach or nectarine family. I think it may be a plum???  If the fig turns out to not be a celeste, I'll give it away.  There are at least 15 grown celeste trees around my work.  I took 8 cuttings from the best tasting one a few weeks ago and am in the process of bag rooting them as we speek.  I was going to give them to coworkers if successful, but I may keep one for myself.   Funny how quick the addiction hits.
