I had a potted Celeste when I lived in Royersford PA zone 6b that I gave a
chance to bear over several seasons. I may have gotten *some* fruit, but if
so (and I don't remember getting any) not much. If I recall correctly, it
was fruiting modestly, but not maturing its fruit. Around the end of season
3 it was "accidentally" not brought in over winter which freed up its pot
for something new.

I’ve grown Danny’s Delight fig, which was also allegedly cold hardy. Here
in Zone 5, it was cold hardy — the roots, that is, just like many other
figs. The tops died back, then grew about 10 feet high by the end of the
season, but never ripened a fruit.
Celeste, in my greenhouse or in a pot, never sets hardly any fruit for me.
