I thought you also have mature in ground Caprifigs? Or at least there is one very close to your orchard?

I do have them in the ground around here but this one is special to me, I started it from a seed

With all of the cool figs you have? I guess this tells us something about how long a fig seed stays viable.

The stay viable for long but cannot beat fresh by anything. Either seeds or cuttings!

I posted this on F4F originally, but so far no one has answered in the affirmative. This thread seems like it would be a good place to repeat the question.

------ quote
Saleeb (UCR 271-1), Croisic / Gillette, Enderud (UCR 228-20), Capri Q - are examples (of persistent caprifigs). These figs are not good homes for the fig wasp though, and artificial pollen transfer is required. Many of these caprifigs are edible, some better than others.

My Q is does anyone here have a mature but dormant persistent caprifig they would be willing to take cuttings from?

ThaiFigs,
I do not have any known persistent caprifigs.I think Harvey does, I would ask him.

[ThaiFigs Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ThaiFigs]

I asked him already but he doesn't have any cuttings yet. I was hoping there might be others around who were interested in fig breeding as a hobby.

Igor, I have 15-16 caprifigs in large pots and your black one is the earliest to start growing here, quite a few leaves on it already.

Thank you, Harvey, for an update !
I am glad to hear that.
