Hello,
A couple of days ago, when I was searching on the net for figs, I've found an interesting pdf about some Ukrainian fig cultivars.
I've found a variety called Smena, which is said to be an interspecific hybrid between the common fig, and the paper mulberry. It just came out of my mind if it possible to cross a fig with a paper mulberry, it might be possible to cross them with the common morus. The morus nigra is very common here, and its growing widely everywhere in zone 6b. What do you guys think about that? Is it possible to create hybrid between the two with home conditions, or is it need any special condition?
I think if it's possible it might be a new chance to prove the cold hardiness of the common fig.
