Yes, many modern IBs are fertile. We have been using them a bit in MTB x IB crosses with some success. Nothing introducible yet....been using IBs X SDBs and IBs X TBs for a while now. Getting characteristics going both ways.

Does anyone know of any IB's (especially pink ones) being used as
pollen parent on diploids?? I thought that maybe because of their
unbalanced complement of chromosomes, IB's might occassionally
produce diploid (or near diploid) pollen grains. Thinking that this
might be one way of transferring tangerine beard and pink color to
the diploid MTB bunch.
