Very interesting Celeste strain, watched this video several times. Started 2 chincoteague celeste plants from cuttings this Spring, they rooted and are growing vigorously. One will be planted here in CT, the other on Hilton Head Island. Your videos are fantastic.
Wow!! What a Gi-Normous Celeste Fig tree. The fruits are kinda big for a Celeste too! What's the name of that variety? Anyway, I had so much fun watching you both pick figs from that lovey gigantic tree. You'll need a 20 ft ladder. I'm in awe of it all and what a blessing it is to own such a tree! Thanks for sharing, that was very uplifting!!!
Beautiful large tree. How do they have that tree pruned or do they prune? Is it more bush or single branch? Making fig preserves reminds me of my grandmother. She made the best fig preserves. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Lou! Mike D. here from NorthEast Ohio Zone 6b. I've watched some of your other videos and have learned a lot! I'm hoping to be able to enjoy some figs someday like this.I would love to get a cutting of that tree but I know you value your privacy and I totally respect that.Thanks for posting and I will continue to follow your lead and try to develop my Fig Trees in like manner.
Brings back memories from my childhood, seen them bigger than that when I was a kid Great Grandpa had one 20’ tall and 30’ diameter. But I still see the 15’ tall and 15’ diameter. Oh by the way what is the address looks like ya need some help picking all those Figs 😂 great video thanks for sharing your work and fun with the community.
Hey Lou! I have a “Celeste” fig I bought from a big garden store in Texas but it has a breva crop and main crop it does not have that nice amber color I’m looking for. Is it really a Celeste?? Do you sell cuttings?
Looks like my mothers Celeste tree looked about 45 days ago. Huge and loaded and the heatwave and drought we’ve been experiencing the last two month’s down south made them so good. Best I can remember.
Hi Lou I am a total fan of you fig & Persimmons orchid, I live in Ontario, Vaughan and I’m trying to build my a smaller version of figs and persimmons but persimmons we cannot ship where I live do you have any suggestions I don’t care to drive far to get a Saiggio and Nakita’s gift! Just wondering if you can suggest anything to me.thanks was amazed of that last video with that huge fig tree! Amazing work in educating people your are a master teacher. Thank you so much
We're in a very dry period in Dallas Texas area. Hardly any rain for 1 1/2 months an my baby fig trees are producing tiny figs, just not getting any size at all.
Hi Greg! Sorry about your weather, but have you considered removing the small figs altogether? If watering them properly doesn't remedy the problem, you might want to consider culling your crop this year in order to minimize the stress on your fig trees. Regards from Lou Monti!
Hi, Darius! In my opinion, there are some distinguishable differences (noteworthy, but not entirely dramatic) between certain strains of Celeste. I've discussed these variations many times in my videos. I like to draw a comparison to the Mount Etna's, for example, where the same basic fig variety can be found under many different name, some of which possess some slight differences from one another while still being close enough to consider them the same variety for practical purposes. Therefore, I highly recommend that a grower interested in acquiring ordinary Celeste experiment a little with several samples in order to ascertain whether or not a vigorous, productive, and tasty such varient has been obtained. Regards from Lou Monti
I just ordered a Celeste tree ,the "problem" is I live in Romania ,there aren t many varieties here but I imported the ones I cannot find from other places ❤😂
Get the container. Where’s the container. The container please. Glad to see you so excited Lou. Beautiful figs.
