Plant DNA lab offering a qPCR fig sex test. Find out if a seedling is Female or Male/Caprifig years before it fruits.
Farmer & Freeman is a plant DNA diagnostics lab in Washington, DC. Since 2015 we’ve been running qPCR sex determination and pathogen testing for growers of every size, from backyard hobbyists to large commercial farms.
Our fig sex test tells you whether a fig tree or seedling is Female or Male/Caprifig from a small leaf sample. Most seedlings take years to show their type, so testing early helps breeders and collectors decide what to keep, what to plant out, and what to cull without waiting on figs.
