I have the 3 Celeste fig trees, 2 years on ground, zone 8A, frustrated with it. It grows bushy and healthy, but don't fruit well. Lots of fruits that never mature and very small. If they the fruits don't mature this year and give me something to eat, they will be removed in the winter. I have a Yellow Long Neck - prolific - and has grown very big, now the main trunk lays on the ground it is so big and thick. I chopped off the other branches but that one, but quickly grew new branches that grew talk quickly and survived the cold DFW weather. I was surprised. Wish I new how to grow cuttings, so far I'm failing.
My Celeste fig is about seven years old and finally giving me a lot of figs, they are very delicious, they are worth the long wait. I am also in Dfw. I am just starting to pot some cuttings and I’m hoping that I have some success.

The color of fig doesn’t look like a Celeste. Maybe it’s not ripe. The ripe ones are supposed to be brownish outside, and super red inside
Yes you are correct, The figs that are very ripe are brownish outside.
Just update the video thumbnail with most current harvest of ripe figs!
