Jaune flame cross black cherry
 

Ok this is my first time doing this what should i look for in the f1 fruit. Or do i collect all seed
and wait to look at f2 fruit for selection of what im looking for?what should i expect out of this cross.

The F1 will be a hybrid of the two varieties. F2 is where it gets interesting. You will see alot of genetic variance of both black cherry and jaune flame in the F2....if you grow out alot of plants. You basically look for what you want to see in your cross in the F2. Save seed from both the flavor and look of tomato you like and grow out seed from that tomato in the F3 generation. And so on and so forth. We dont always hit home runs but sometimes we get blessed and find the tomato we are looking for. Either way it is exciting and fun to see what we will get. That is the simplest way i can explain the process without going into major detail. Good luck with your adventure.

Best wishes on your efforts. You just might get a rel surprise.

Thanks for the input.the black cherry i used to cross took me 5years to find .Bonnies Black cherry is a plum and several other places i tried just didn't have that. Killer taste. Im hoping for a Blake cherry jaune flame size.taste comes first though

So this isn't the black cherry we all know and love but some other thing called black cherry?
I'm confused.

Sound like black plum.

Sounds like black plum to me too.

On this issue...Are there multiple black, plum-shaped tomatoes? Or is everything black and plum shaped actually Black Plum?

Thanks
