jmsieglaff · January 9, 2016

I've read through a good portion of this thread and didn't see it exactly stated--but I certainly haven't read every word. If one were to cross a micro dwarf with a regular dwarf--I assume the F1 would be regular dwarf? Would the F2 segregate out at 25% for micro--or is more than 1 gene involved and it be a smaller percentage? I'm growing a micro dwarf this winter and if I like the flavor reasonably well, I may grow another one this summer to cross with a released dwarf project purple tomato for a fun little project.
