5 years ago, I began a journey to breed fig trees and develop new fig varieties in my backyard. I started with a UCR 271-1 Saleeb caprifig tree, and 2 years later, I harvested fig pollen. I carefully chose female fig mother trees of the best quality and crossed them to develop fertile seed. Now, the fig tree breeding program is bearing fruit...literally! I created 10 brand new fig trees, and the results are mindblowing!
I am growing 42 fig tree seedlings in total as part of the fig breeding experiment. After 3 full years, one third of the seed grown fig trees are producing fruit. This video shares the new fig tree varieties and taste tests them to document the results. It's shocking the quality of fruit these seedling fig trees are producing.
