Overstock caprifigs and female figs now available

Thanks for the post. I see you described partridge eye as self fertile? Is this distinct from a common fig which by my understanding is parthenocarpic?

No. But thank you for noticing, I think it's a poor choice of words.

no problem! thanks for the clarification. i think im going to pick up one of these caprifigs. which would you rec. i dont have a huge plan for breeding but I want to keep options open because i know myself and it will eventually turn to that LOL.

Right now I have a "winters gift" cutting rooting but otherwise no caprifigs. I prefer berry flavors but more than anything that split resistance is key. :)

@Charlie Dodgson mentioned DC-2 for closed eye figs in your trading post.

For breeding, I would stay away from Saleeb since it had a poor track record of offspring in the UCR program. Enderud (one of Saleeb's parents) did better, and UCR 347-1 (an offspring of Enderud) is another good choice. Capri Q was a feral discovery, but likely has lineage similar to UCR 347-1. Wild #1 also has similarities to these. All of them would likely be good pollen parent for Honey figs or traditional French figs such as Longue d'Aout.

For Celeste-type figs the LSU DC series are a good start. They are also good candidates for closed/small eyed figs, as is Black Capri bred by Trees of Joy. The latter -- along with St. Anthony's PC have good backgrounds for breeding berry-flavored figs.
