PP's Celeste ('Honey/sugar, Fruity Berry' flavor fig)
Formally known as 'PP's Peachy', yet this fig cultivar only had a peachy taste the first time that Pleamon tried it, the former peach flavor was strong. This cultivar is a lot like 'Celeste', yet this cultivar grows in a true tree shape, it is ever bearing, and it produces a breba crop. The misleading unknown name was changed to 'PP's Celeste', also an unknown name!
It's sweet fruit tastes 'berry like', it's fruit is 'Celeste like' in shape, in sweetness, in size, and in taste. The skin of it's fruit is brown. This cultivar exists in Georgia 'zone 7b/8a', at a lake front home, which is located at one of the oldest subdivisions at 'Lake Oconee', a lake that was finished, and filled with water in 1978.
There are two known original 'PP's Celeste' fig trees, for at least 3 winters they have faced 0 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as faced winters that were in the single digits.
The pictures were taken from the road, their tops were cut off several times. The last time was in 2017 or 2018. The trees are on a hill, and that makes them seem much taller than they really are!. They are magnificent to behold, when seen in person.
