Cut­tings from Pomona Gar­dens

Since this year, the Botan­i­cal Con­ser­va­to­ry “I Gia­r­di­ni di Pomona” has decid­ed to give its con­tri­bu­tion to the knowl­edge and dis­sem­i­na­tion of the Ficus car­i­ca species by mak­ing its col­lec­tion avail­able to the gen­er­al pub­lic, built up over thir­ty years of patient research, col­lec­tion and exchange work.

The CUTTINGS of the vari­eties of this pri­vate col­lec­tion have nev­er been put on sale except in very small part to ama­teurs who came to vis­it us and were par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed in pur­chas­ing some vari­eties tast­ed
direct­ly in the field and not avail­able in even spe­cial­ized nurs­eries.

In the sec­tion of our web­site ded­i­cat­ed to the VERA project — Sus­tain­able agri­cul­tur­al mod­els for bio­di­ver­si­ty preser­va­tion, you will find the Cat­a­logue of Ficus car­i­ca Vari­eties with the sur­veys car­ried out by Pao­lo Bel­loni and the team of “I Gia­r­di­ni di Pomona™, in col­lab­o­ra­tion and under the sci­en­tif­ic guid­ance of Fer­di­nan­do Cos­sio dur­ing 2024 — a par­tic­u­lar­ly dry year — on non-irri­gat­ed plants and grown on poor soils. Fer­di­nan­do Cos­sio is the main author of the pho­tos con­tained in the cards.

We thank in advance all those who will want to sup­port our research by pur­chas­ing the cut­tings direct­ly from the Botan­i­cal Con­ser­va­to­ry, or by request­ing their ship­ment, thus allow­ing us to con­tin­ue this very impor­tant.

Con­sult here the pdf cat­a­logue of all the cut­tings avail­able for pur­chase.
