Fig Identification - is this Celeste?

I purchased a small “Celeste” fig tree a few years ago from a local farm stand. It has quickly grown to about 10 ft. tall. It has produced some really good, sweet figs - last year and this past week.


I just noticed - while perusing the forums and fig information sites - that the fruit does not have the amber / brown coloration of a classic “Celeste”. The fig is green to yellow; some do have a small bit of amber that I think is from sun scorch.

Can anyone positively ID it?

I am thinking it’s a Desert King. Or perhaps an Excel? – other? Perhaps it really is a Celeste and simply producing as per Napa, CA climate.

The birds love them unfortunately.
