This is the first year I have had fruit ripen on my Celeste fig. I think it
may be that I have been a bit more dedicated in my watering. I store the
potted tree in a cooler corner of the basement near the end of November but
am considering other dormant storing options for this winter. It will need a
repotting next spring.
