When the results come in this summer, I will know which of my proprietary 101 hybrids perform well in the "heat' of Mexico and California. The numbered hybrids 1-101, (no other data provided), will be fruiting soon. The investor will provide the data back and with this research, and I (ever hopeful), will relate the highlights here on TVille.
The growers in two or more locations will not know the parentage, but their information will guide me in making further or similar hybrids this summer. I hope to learn something before the end of May.
Normally, I don't send out seed for trials anymore, but since these are hybrids, the pedigree info is on a spreadsheet safe from prying eyes. I sent a pkt of each from 5 to 10 seed per hybrid.
I had to narrow down the hybrids to 101 from over a thousand hybrids. It was like which kid is going to college and which one won't!
