Hand pollination

[GoodFriendMike]

I wonder if I was to get the wasp if they would over winter in my grow room if I put a couple of capris in there from the outside. It will for sure never even get close to freezing in there unless we have some weird power issues during the winter. Also read about folks overwintering the actual figs in a plastic container and they emerged in the spring to move to profichi.

Possible. But you would need different Capri.

Over the past couple years it has taken off. I love it and hoping some will get into breeding. Would love to do or see a very large scale project.

I’ve got about a thousand seedlings going indoors right now. May be 2-3 years but I hope to use some of the Adriatic seedlings as a capri in the future. I’ve got at least 200 green goblin seedlings lol

I don’t have that many going right now. As I don’t have the space yet. Your plans are for better Adriatic types?

Dc2? Should’ve asked I have several in tree pots lol

Yea I’m gonna snag one from you in the spring if you have any left.

I’d like to see some capris that stay a light green with red insides. Then the plan would be to cross with something like green michurinska to further the earlier Adriatics if it ever works out. The down side could be the colors are tied to ripening length and it’s not possible to create an early ripening Adriatic without the later ripening. Many questions to be answered in the next decade of fig breeding.

Glad your taking that route. Besides breeding Capri with Capri. I want to breed for a dark black persistent Capri. I think it would help people create better berry figs.
