Hi all, I am new to the forum. Just wanted to know if anybody has had any luck with the Persian/Iranian mountain fig "Anjeer Kohi". Its supposed to be very cold hardy and I am looking to see if there is a cutting for trade or for sale. Our Canadian winters are harsh, looking for an alternative to the Chicago Hardy, Dessert King if the mountain is more cold hardy.

I've been trying to locate this one as well. I wrote to some folks in their region, but abandoned the effort for all the reasons you might guess. Hoping that your seedlings turn out to be common figs, Bass. A couple more years and you should see what you've got there! Mike central NY state, zone 5 __________________ Pauca sed matura.

Would anybody be willing to trade or sell one, either seeds, cuttings or a plant if you can ship to Canada. __________________ Fig trees: Italian Red Honey, Kadota, Brown Turkey, White Honey, Genovese, Celeste, Pingho De Mel, Violette De Bourdeaux, Hollier, Bianchetta, Stella (Dalmatie) Wish List: Italian 258, Adriano fig, Zucchini Fig Zone 5

I will have some available later this season, but as you've read these will be experimental at this point. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

From what I've read, they need the wasp pollination __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

Curious about any updates with Anjeer Kohi or Iranian mountain figs. I just read in wiki that they survive -40c ! __________________ Jesse- zone 5, 1000' elevation

I doubt that any ficus species will survive -40C which is -40 F I'll be happy if this would survive -10. The seedlings are growing nicely, and I can see different leaf shape on each of these seedlings. I probably have 8 seedlings growing. I have shared some of these seedlings at one of the fig gathering at my place, and I'm hoping to hear report on how theirs are growing. Each of these seedling will have different characters in leaf shape and sex. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

That quote in wiki did seem a bit extreme to me too. The landscapes shown in the backrounds of these photo look extreme as well! I wonder if they are common or smyna type figs? Seems like good potential breeding material for someone like Greg Martin...now who wants to go get some cuttings? __________________ Jesse- zone 5, 1000' elevation

-40F does seem a little far fetched. But there's no doubt that it gets pretty dang cold in those mountains. In the photo, the trees seem to be thriving in dry, hot summer/cold winter conditions. The thing I wonder is if a "wet" -40F is different for them (figs) than a "dry" -40F. Maybe not, I'm just speculating.

Nice pic, Bass. Has that 'Ice Crystal' look. Ebay has seeds coming from Germany: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1000-Samen-Ficus-afghanistanica-Gebirgsfeige-Bonsai-/200953774154?pt=Sämereien_Zwiebeln&hash=item2ec9c7404a The leaves resemble maple leaves on the seller's photo. I gather people are using these for bonsai. __________________ Jesse- zone 5, 1000' elevation

I'm guessing there are several interested zone 5ers or even 4ers that would love to work with genes from that pool. The Iran location makes it pretty darn tough, though. As great as cuttings would be, I'm even more interested in a bunch of seeds from those plants. __________________ zone 5 Maine Seeking: Saint Martin, Naples White, Black Tuscan, Bécane, French Alps, Abruzzi, Tenica, Wild Mountain Figs from the coldest corners (Iranian, Turkish or other...would love seeds too)

I'm with Greg, seeds would contain the most diversity. My persistent caprifigs should start producing this coming season, maybe I can finally make some crosses! Bass, let us know when those start making figs. If you don't already have some persistent caprifigs, maybe one of us can provide some pollen to try a hybrid cross. __________________ Andy - Zone 6a Lat 39.9º N, Alt 5390' Westminster CO ⚘ Scion List
