Finding the Tennessee Mountain Fig
Comments (33)Most fig enthusiasts agree that Celeste is one of the best tasting figs, if not the best tasting fig. The major issue in this thread, in my view, is whether there is any significant difference in Celeste and the majority of the figs shipped and sold by TyTy as "Tennessee Mountain Fig". The overall consensus seems to be that the figs are one and the same. I suppose I can understand a marketer renaming a fig in order to generate excitement (Nero Caesar, Tennessee Mountain, White Italian, Patrick's Supergiant). Most of the fig varieties listed by Condit have multiple names and some have dozens! The names are often evocative of the history of the figs and tell a tale of the convoluted journeys they have taken. As enthusiasts, however, it is very useful to have names that we all recognize. At times, there are still surprises. For example, a few years ago, DNA testing revealed that Vista Mission and Violet de Bordeaux were one and the same. An examination of the leaves and fruit of the two varieties in my collection verified the finding. A couple of final notes on Celeste: Although it is a great-tasting fig and a "must have" in a collection, as a commercial fig, its small size is a real drawback. A larger fig, such as an Adriatic, is more efficient when making preserves or when picking fresh figs to sell or share with your neighbors. Also, in my opinion, the key to avoiding fig drop in Celeste and other varieties is to be sure that the tree is adequately watered. Shade is not the best solution. The tree will survive, but fruit production will suffer. The application of well-composted manure just prior to the growing season is also helpful in improving fruit production....See MoreHelp.

Comments (5)The Shooting Star Nursery (see link) is a good place. They mostly deal in seeds but also sell some plants. They're in Kentucky, though that shouldn't make much of a difference.

Comments (12)Palmmandan, if I find a store and I decide to go, I'll let you know. Denninmi, I have asked at a local Lowe's, but they said they couldn't special order anything. They said what they receive was pushed to them by headquarters. I asked again, this time directly to the outdoor garden manager if she could get in some southern magnolias, she said she'd try. I've looked every time I'm there and there are none, so I kinda gave up at that Lowe's. I'd rather go with Lowe's than HD because Lowe's seems to have better prices and healthier plants, plus I bought a big 25 gallon needle from Lowe's a couple summers ago when I was in Panama City, so I know they're able to get them in a big size. The grower was Morningstar Nursery. Maybe I'll try some other Lowe's....See MoreHow much are bare root roses from Regan's Nursery?
Comments (5)Check on what they are charging for shipping before getting your hopes up. They are an excellent resource and if I lived nearby, they would get a lot of my rose dollars. But (at least several years ago) their shipping of bareroots to Tennessee doubled the price of each rose.)....See MoreGlenda Lindsay
