Hello, I am also working on a cross using JBT, with my seven year old daughter. It's amazing how well she's got her little head round genetics and the concepts of dominant and recessive traits.
I think you are certainly not going to see the desired outcome in the F1, a red red/orange fruit is the most likely outcome.
Like my daughter's cross JBT x Orange Banana you are going to see an awful lot of segregation for colour in the F2, but I think that will be fun for a kid to work with.
Unless there are obvious differences in foliage between the mother and your F1, it may not be obvious the cross has taken until you see fruit.
I look forward to watching the progress of your daughter's project. Keep us posted.
