Description
The Stallion fig is an intriguing and somewhat mysterious variety, often speculated to be a Black Celeste or a closely related mutation of the classic Celeste fig. It has gained attention among collectors and fig enthusiasts due to its dark skin, exceptional sweetness, and resilience, making it a standout among small, high-sugar figs.
The exact origins of the Stallion fig are unclear, but some growers believe it to be either a Sport (natural mutation) of Celeste or simply a rebranded Black Celeste. Since Celeste itself has numerous variants and regional adaptations, Stallion could be one of these naturally occurring selections that gained a distinct identity over time. Despite its somewhat Unknown history, growers praise its strong fruiting habit and ability to withstand challenging weather conditions.
Like Celeste and Black -celeste"> Black Celeste, Stallion is a Common Fig , meaning it does not require fig Wasp pollination to set fruit. This makes it an ideal variety for growers outside of Wasp zones.

This fig was reportedly found at an abandoned home site on the Stallion AFB in New Mexico. Some have said it is a 'Blue Celeste' but without genetics we will never know, the background history is lost. This is the smallest fig I have grown, but very tasty. It does taste a lot like Celeste, I think, though I have no ripe Celeste to compare. The three figs in the main photo were the first harvested from my plant and weighed 8, 9 and 12 grams. It seems relatively early for me. Has a strong sweet flavor with some berry overtones.submitted by eboone
