Best fig Breeding ideas?

[Charlie Dodgson]

I would like an edible variety of wild Caprifig from US.

Some are persistent, others are not. Do you have a preference?

 

[GoodFriendMike]

My Facebook friend who lives in Spain received 8 varieties Caprifig cuttings from the US.
I think only members here can do this.
Is there anyone who can send Caprifig cuttings to me in Japan for a fee?

What are the import laws there?

 

[Sayabo]

What Capri are available in Japan?

I can find TFH Cxxx or UNK Caprifig. Of course, there is no wild species of carica Caprifigs.

My preference is persistent. I want to breeding.

 

[Sayabo]

What are the import laws there?

Japanese laws are as strict as those in the US. In principle, I believe that national borders do not matter to plants.

Did you get TFH292? That one does have persistent profichi.
I hope next season to see if it's other crop's or crop is as well.

Yes, I am also growing the same TFH292 etc. I am hoping to try hando pollinating a variety of Ficus this year.

What variety are you going to pollinate?

This is not true. I have several plant licenses though. I'll check tomorrow about sending fig cuttings from San Diego county to Tokyo.

 

[Charlie Dodgson]

I can find ...

There are a few hundred Caprifigs at the Fukuoka Agriculture and Forestry Research Center.

Your sentiment is not wrong here but in application just look at what chesnut blight from china did to the American chestnut.
Plant shipping restrictions are very inconvenient, but necessary.

Icebox x Masui Dauphine etc.

Yes, I would greatly appreciate it!

How about seeds? Could seeds be sent easier? What if someone here pollinated by hand and sent seeds? Possible new caprifigs could be in the progeny as well.

Good idea.

 

[Sayabo]

There are a few hundred Caprifigs at the Fukuoka Agriculture and Forestry Research Center.

Are you saying that there are over 100 variety Caprifigs in that place? Or do you mean over 100 trees?

Of course, I think restrictions are necessary, and we need to develop mechanisms to prevent the spread of pests and diseases even more.

It is possible to obtain the seeds and fruit legally, but I think only TFH makes this possible.

So seeds are legal?
