Thank you Dennis.

The best way to insure there are Wasps when your She Figs are ready to conceive is to have several with little off timings from each other.

Tat's the reason I have put together 4 different active varieties of Capri.
This will provide prolonged pollination season for many types of Smyrna, San Pedro and even Common Figs.

There are certain Capri figs that release their wasps earlier or later than others. I would like to grow some that ripens at different time, so it matches the main crop of the smyrna types I grow.  UCD has different capri types planted among their orchard. 

yes Bass, hence the 4 different varieties of the Capri in my package. I thought I was clear about this :)

@Aaron, I really like your idea, I think it will be a nice project to trial. You did mention the 4 varieties do extend the pollination season, i was just going off what you've mentioned.
@greenfig, I'm sure ripening time is different, although in the greenhouse, climate can be controlled to match the season in Cali, somewhat.

My greenhouse climate is modeled after central CA, say Modesto. It's not that hard here because our average temperatures each month are very near Modesto. Here the issue outdoors is wild swings in temperature and late freezes that don't occur in CA.

Any heated greenhouse in a temperate climate can be made to mimic CA to some degree. The biggest difference will be humidity and sunlight. That's not an issue here as we average 75% sunshine all year long.

That's an interesting question in itself and I am sure many people looked in to this, I just do not have a greenhouse and do not know the specifics.

If one wants to mimic a particular climate, what variables are the most important? I believe different plants would would be affected by different things.
The figs do care about the average temperature, min/max temp., sunlight, humidity.
Anything else, like pressure, watering schedule, microelements in water , etc.?

I'm done with the Capri cuttings.

Many thanks for the participants, The Pioneers, of the "Greenhouse Capri Project".

The packages will go out tomorrow morning.

Happy Figging :)

Received my capri fig cutting. All the cuttings look awsome. Going to root them on,sunday. Many thanks Aaron going to be a very cool project. Have my,second greenhouse up and running. Strickly figs. I will keep updating my post with the progress. Richie from louisiana

Good luck, everyone.

Here are some of my thoughts/experiences on the matter.  I've rooted cuttings and done airlayers, both with and without mamme or mammoni fruits on them at the time (maybe profichi also, though I don't recall).  I believe bare rooting a plant with fruits on them will probably result in the fruits dropping.  Unfortunately, I found that the new plants did not produce the next generation of fruits even when I was able to get it to hold onto the fruits that were on it when I airlayered it or rooted it.  This means the wasps will have no place to lay eggs for the next generation of wasps.  When wasps were first successfully introduced to the U.S. I believe they transported a fairly large tree by ship so this allowed the generations of wasps to continue.  Trying to introduce wasps from one area of the country to a caprifig tree in another part of the country can be quite challenging as the timing of wasps emerging can vary greatly even within different parts of California.  In the 1900 Yearbook of Agriculture previously posted by Francisco ("lampo"), there was discussion about the consider difference in wasp emergence in Fresno and Niles (Niles is now part of the city of Fremont).  I'm guessing that a caprifig tree grown in a north side of a residence would have a later generation of wasps than a tree grown facing south of out in the open where it is always receiving sunlight during the day.  I'm very interested in this project and hope someone is able to have success but I'm guessing it's going to take at least a year before someone can get a tree to consistently produce three generations of fruits and then several efforts to ship fruits with emerging wasps to help get the timing right so that the fruits on the new trees get wasp eggs in them.

Here is a like to the 1900 Yearbook of Agriculture, begin reading at page 79.  I believe Francisco had posted a better link with text that was searchable but am unable to locate that right now.

Best of luck to us all!
