"Ferragnes", the well-known French and self-incompatible cultivar, was artificially pollinated in 1988 with "Falsa barese", "Genco" and "Tuono", of Apulian origin and self-compatible. From 1,206 seeds, 881 seedlings were obtained (average germination 73.1 per cent), as follows: 310 "Ferragnes" x "Falsa barese", 293 "Ferragnes" x "Genco" and 278 "Ferragnes" x "Tuono". At the end of 1991, 10.8 per cent of the 881 seedlings were discarded for the stunted growth; 55.5 per cent of the remaining 786 seedlings were discarded at the end of 1992 because they were not into production yet; 7.9 per cent of the residue 297 seedlings were discarded in 1995 for the incidence of doubles above 5 per cent. Between 1993 and 1995, studies on flowering phenology, biological behaviour and production characteristics of the remaining 227 seedlings were carried out: all the tested individuals were late blooming and about 60 per cent were self-compatible. At present, 11 offspring appear to be of particular interest in terms of productivity and kernel characteristics, thereby deserving further observations; 3 of them belong to "Ferragnes" x "Falsa barese", 4 to "Ferragnes" x "Genco" and 4 to "Ferragnes" x "Tuono".
