Wild Figs are Caprifig with 3 Variity of Flowers. In the South with Figwesp 1 Female-Flower is to eat. My Quetions is:

Is by persistent Fig-plant in the North without Figwesp al 3 Flower Variity to eat or only 1 Form from the Female-Flower, so as in the South?

I have much Wildfigs. Just more and more adult and much have loost the first Flowers.(But also normal persistent female Variity)

Kunduz not realy Subspezie Afghanistanika. Mother is Tadschikisch Wildfig from North Afghanistan and from Father must com much Gene from Ficus Carica Kulturfig. In Afghanistan much regional Genpools, with much Kulturfigsgene.

The young Plant Roxana is half Kulturfig and half Afghanistanika-Johannis.

How many fig trees did you grow to maturity to get 1 good new variety?.Do you have an idea of how many turned out to be Caprifig,how many are Smyrna type etc?. I have a small patch of land(allotment) so probably have space for some so was planning to try growing from seed to see,but I already have lots of unknown variety figs from around my city to trial,might have some good unique ones there anyway. I already grew from seed Apple,pear,plum,apricot,loquat etc, by comparison to those fruits 4 years is very quick for maturity.I will be an old man before I find out if the pear trees are any good!. The work you are doing is very interesting,keep up the good work!


The Variety Bursa is from Smyrna Typ and must have Polution for ripening Fruit. So its no Chance that the Seedlings from Bursa parthenocarp. Many People in Tyrkye have Bursa, so they have destroyed the Genpool for Parthenocarpie. I like to have eytremly winterhard Figs with Parthenocarpie. So Seedlings from Afghanistan and Xinjiang better.
If you not find in Greeat Britain intersthing dried Figs, yo can buy by Pamir Import in Hamburg or direktly from Asia. By Ali Express you can by dried Figs from Xinjiang. Better look to big yellow kultur Figs from Xinjiang and not small wild Figs. You can have lucky with wild figs but kultur Figs have more Chance that the Seedlings have big Fruit.

I like exchange. With that young Plant i cannot to much make cuttings. First i must make second Plants to save and make more Motherplants. Very much people like have the plant.
Mr. Kruchem(Hortensis) have much winterhart new Variitie, maybe in Future also Kunduz.
I surch Xinjiang yellow Fig Variity - Kashi Yellow Giant and Afghan Kultur Fig.

If you have a Garden you can also make new Variity. Pamir Import in Hamburg have afghan dried Kultur Figs. In 4 years they adult.

I have Mitschurinski 10. I like buy Mitschurins from the Fig-Dealer Mr. Kruchem(Hortensis) in Germany - Waake. He have only the hardest Fig, but not all. We have Problems become the Hardest Figs from Nort Asia. So i make Seedlings from Afghan dried Fig. In the moment my new Variety Kunduz is my best Fig Plant.

Maybe its possible to make a Selektion from Fig Seedlings what can live in - 30 Grad Celsius. Afghan Kultur Seedling good for that Projekt. I make so Selektion, but my Klima is not so hard, maybe - 22 Grad Celsius. If the Winter is harder you must make a Help.
Here is the Seedling Roxana. Parents from Afghanistan.

I have no times read what is with the Caprifig Flowers in North - all Fruit to eat, if they Parthenocarp?

It gives more Quetions. Wild Figs not only Male, they are "Zwitter" Male and Women. They have 3 Forms from Flowers. In Afghanistan makes also the "Zwitter" Fruits. Must they have also most Pollutions?
Can Zwitter/Wild Fig in North Countrys built from all 3 Flowers Fruits, if Parthenocarp?
From my other Seedlings 4 years old have 3 Plant fruit, what to this time was not to eat. My Seedling Albshausen have had the first Fruit to eat.

I have looked at the climate where you live, your summers are cool, and there is very little sun, most sun you do get is filtered through the clouds which means that it's weak sun. Pomegranate bushes grow way better with lots of unfiltered light and heat. A mild winter does not make up much for that. If you tell us how you are caring for it, then maybe we can give you more advice.

I make no spezial Carring. All Time i eat my Pomegrate in the Garten and the Seeds come in the Garden on special Place. In this Place i kill other Plant. Only my Seedlings: Figs, Pomegrate, Jujube, Citrus, Olive.. alout grow. From mayby 10000 Seeds are maybe 300 Seedlings. In the 3 Year they are 30 Pice.

Around my Garden is a Hedge/brood from Figs and other Fruit Plant. Between this trees are my Seedlings.
