A Pluot (Zaiger) is an interspecific hybrid of an apricot and plum leaning on the plum side

Same as the Flavor Delight Aprium (Zaiger) but it leans on the apricot side

And a Nectaplum (Zaiger) is a nectarine plum interspecific hybrid

Actually, a jackass is a male donkey. A Mule is a Jack/Mare cross. They are sterile. -granger

so if he crosses pot with whatever, maybe no worry about getting seeds?

Just don't cross it it with a donkey.

[siftedunity]

most crosses between different species are infertile/sterile. same as the liger the tiger x lion. cannabis would hybridise with something im sure. but it would most likely be sterile, and most likely pretty useless for smoking or whatever

[hereigrow]

I think that hops is cannabis closest relative. Make a great beer with Thc .sounds like trouble

[GrowbagUK]

A hybrid with hops would be intergeneric (humulus sp. x cannabis sp.) which is quite possible in the plant world. Large plant population with wide genetic diversity would be required for the best chance.

A hybrid with catnip would be interfamilial (lamiaceae x cannabaceae) which is an extremely rare occurrence.

Right, but is the term 'mule' applied for both mare and stallion (female and male) offspring of the cross? And, is it always a jack/mare cross, or could it be a jenny/stallion cross?

I got to meet the sweetest little donkey mare a few weeks ago. I've never handled them, not asses, not mules, not any other equine besides horses. She wanted everything to do with me. Now I want one of my own. They can't be any harder than horses, can they? And since they're so small they don't need to be ridden like a horse does, do they? They make more sense in my head than goats, too, I just don't understand goats the way I understand horses, so it seems a better fit.

For all I know about horses, I don't know shit about the asses.

I apologize for the thread digression, but I think the OP's question has been answered. I'm also beginning to wonder about variegation in plants and how it relates to color morphs in our domesticated animals. We're seeing it in captive-bred clownfishes now, and they're not that far into 'domestication'.

Maiden,
All mules are sterile males. I don't know if you can use a stud hoss and a Jenny, but I think because of the size of the mule foal, they use mares. Mules are pretty much the size of a horse, so it might be really hard for a little Jenny to birth a foal so large.

If I had land, I would definitely have burros. My family comes from sheep and goat country, and up there, they use burros to protect the flocks. Burros are possessive about the flocks they run with, and no canine or feline will stand up to them. In that area there are two kinds of people. Those who say "beruh" and those who say "Boo_roe."

Speaking of digression- I went to some friends' property with my dog Spike who had quite a high opinion of himself. Their 3 horses had come up to water, and Spike chased them about 300 yards, all at full speed down thru a bermuda pasture. Down at the bottom my friends' burro was grazing, looked up, saw the horses hauling ass [ok...]. I then realized that the horses were running to the donkey. They called him Eor. When he saw what they were running from, he immediately put his head down and ears back and started running at Spike who made and abrupt U-turn, and sprinted the 300 yards back to me, donkey right behind. Very amusing and insightful. -granger

If you think a question is stupid, at least take time to formulate your question with proper grammar and spelling. You will get more people who are willing to respond to your question even if its stupid, because you won't appear to be stupid.
