New F1 pics
Now that more fruits have set, I want to give an update on my JBT X ? F1 plants.
Both plants are nice and lush and have covered their shared trellis, so far about 4.5 feet high and still growing. Now that both plants have multiple fruits I'm seeing a fair amount of variation in shape, with both plants showing most shapes. A few are slightly irregular, round spheres. Most are somewhat blocky, and a little taller than wide, with occasional ribbing near the shoulders. One is beefsteak shaped with considerable ribbing, it's also the biggest. Most of the fruits are about the size of walnuts, with several a little bigger than golf balls.
Attached is a photo showing the range of shapes. The beefsteak is in the mid-upper right. Directly below it is one of the round spheres.
From the size range I'm still thinking Pink Boar is the likely pollen donor. Not showing any striping though. I can't wait until they start to blush and I can make better guesses.
