A Ficus species 2n=26

Family: Moraceae
Genus: Ficus

A Maclura species 2n=56

Family: Moraceae
Tribe: Moreae
Genus: Maclura

They are in the same family, but in a different genus, so this would be called a intergeneric hybrid if could indeed cross.

This hybrid would create a tree that is 2n=41, (again if it is possible to create).

So do you all think it's possible, or is there some kind of genetic barrier in this Family that would not allow it?
