In late September, GardenGenetics will be hosting its first private showings of our proprietary plant genetics products. As of 12 September 2011, most of the available viewing dates have already been booked.
Many of these novel plant introductions are available immediately for both exclusive and non-exclusive licensing. We anticipate that G2's new genetics will be extensively trialed by potential licensees in 2012, with the earliest licensed introductions entering the global horticultural market in the 2013 season.
Our vegetative-annual products are G2's first ready-to-release products. We are actively breeding in the following vegetative-annual classes, and will have more than 400 new varieties on display and available for licensing in September 2011 or 2012:
Abutilon (immediate)
Angelonia (2012)
Bacopa (2012)
Begonia boliviensis (immediate)
Buddleia (immediate)
Calibrachoa (2012)
Canna (immediate)

Lantana (2012)
Pelargonium (immediate)
Pentas (immediate)

G2 has a broad range of herbaceous perennial breeding projects underway. We have herbaceous perennial products in the following classes available for immediate licensing:
Hibiscus moscheutos
Perovskia atriplicifolia
Rudbeckia fulgida
Tanacetum niveum
As a start-up plant genetics company, we initiated breeding projects in many genera simultaneously. Some of these convert into products quickly --- vegetative-annuals is a good example. Some projects take much longer, simply because of the life-cycles of the plant. Woody ornamentals take many years to develop, and G2 does have a broad range of woody projects in development. However, we currently only have these woody perennial products available for licensing:
Callicarpa (immediate)
Diervilla (immediate)
Syringa microphylla (immediate)
Syringa vulgaris (2012)
G2 is actively breeding in a broad range of vegetable and culinary herbs. We currently have the following vegetable products in development, available for 2012 release into 2013 trials:
Cucumbers
Peas (snap)
Peppers
Swiss chard
Tomatoes (parallel trials available for 2012)
