I want to try to make some hybrids, does anyone know where I can get seeds or cuttings of;

ficus opposita

ficus fraseri

ficus ulmifolia

ficus racemosa

ficus aspera

ficus lutea

I've seen some seeds sites in Europe and Australia, but they don't deliver the the US. I'm located in South Carolina

Are there any fig breeders in this group? I'm about to start breeding some of my favorite varieties with some capri figs I have from Sacred Origin and The Fig Hunter...

What do ya'll think about the following crosses as some of my first:

Italian 258 × Winter's Gift (focusing on the fastest growing most productive plant for the southeast climate)

White Madeira #1 × Purple Rain (focusing on the complex color and flavor)

Texas Blue Giant x Mahasattva (focusing on the largest sized figs)

Borda Barraquer (MP) x Bodhisattva (focusing on the overall best taste and texture)

Over the past several months I've been thinking and planning an edible fig nursery/gardens in the Charlotte, NC region, which would include an extensive breeding program. The vision is that instead of a 'botanical gardens' or 'rose garden', it would be a destination 'edible garden', with fruits, berries, herbs, etc...in addition to memberships and paid admission, we would also sell potted plants and cuttings in their corresponding areas of the garden. We'd focus on unique varieties and I'd want to do a good amount of breeding to create our own varieties, with a heavy emphasis on figs.

I've never seen or heard of anything like this.

Thoughts?

Mounting contractor lawsuits, zoning lawsuits, a new supreme court suit, and now this whistleblower lawsuit - not sure how much longer Silfab can stay in business - is this now becoming a race to see who can get paid from whatever's left?

I randomly got 5 diamonds for the newly reworked Thanos so I decided to build him up - I think he's my new favorite - with him adding energy to cosmos, he fits perfectly with 3 F4 - epic team.
