I would be very interested! I might have a few cuttings I could trade as well if you are interested. Just not sure of the varieties.

Hello!
Nice to see someone else thats on my level with figs here haha. What other fruits are you growing in containers? Im a huge fan of container gardening (mostly because im limited to it).

Thanks everyone!
I actually have a few cuttings of celeste and brooklyn white on the way, so i will not be confined to one cultivar for long. I cant wait. However I dont have room for caprifigs, and certainly not for growing out progeny yet, so any fig breeding wont start for a while. That goes for most other things as well. I am however hoping to learn a lot and hopefully already know what im doing after writing this paper. I already have some background working with a peach, nectarine, and apricot breeder at my school. It doesn't translate entirely to fig breeding though, and I still have a lot to learn about plant genetics.

Rcantor- Thank you for those links, i will read through them and see what i know already.

Aphahan - thank you for the book suggestion

DesertDance - I am located in NJ

Striveforfreedom - My 2 year is in a 7 gallon right now, but i think im moving it to a 20 gal smart pot ASAP

Maro2Bear - I am not doing a lot of actual research per se. Right now I am just writing up a hypothetical breeding project to create improved cold hardy cultivars. I may focus on disease resistance instead as it seems more important right now, but i still need to learn more about fig genetics before i decide for sure.

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and would like to introduce myself.
My name is Casey and I am currently studying plant science as an undergrad, planning on graduating this May. My goal is to become a successful plant breeder (not sure what i want to breed yet). Alongside all of my other plants, I have been growing a single fig tree (chicago hardy) in a container for 2 years now. I can say that I am definitely addicted and cant wait to start a collection. I am hoping to learn a lot on this forum. I can say after a quick few hours looking through it I am confident I will.

I should also mention that I am currently working on a hypothetical breeding project with figs. Its really more of a paper than a project. Any links to genetic/breeding information (preferably scientific papers) would be much appreciated!

Thank you!
Casey
