Ficus Palmata Icebox Caprifig Male Fig - 2 Cuttings - Wasp or Hand Pollination
This inedible Male Ficus Palmata Caprifig originates from Kumaon, India. Beautiful heart-shaped leaves and fuzzy stems. If you live in a location with the fig wasps, this will be a good fig to grow to encourage more fig wasps onto your property. If you don't live in a location with the fig wasps this fig tree is still worthwhile to grow becuase the caprifig pollen can be used to hand pollinate your figs, which makes the figs bigger, and tastier. Please do an online search for "hand pollinating figs" for instructions. Also, this ficus palmata male caprifig can be used for fig breeding projects and is compatible for breeding and grafting with ficus carica and ficus afghanistanica. This listing is for 2 cuttings, suitable for rooting or grafting. Fig trees are easy to grow from cuttings. We use the "fig pop" rooting method to root fig cuttings, and have around 80%-90% success rate without using any rooting hormone.
