Yes, post #34. I wonder if Draper did Black Krim x Galina's, or Galina's x Black Krim?

Sounds like he did Black Krim x Galina's but failed to get a cross or a complete cross, because no way should that cross give you purple fruit in the F1. Definitely should be red fruit. Also, fruit size of 5 oz. seems about 2x larger than should be in the F1 for a 1-oz. cherry x Black Krim. And I'm not sure Galina's is even 1 ounce in weight.

I think maybe your "F1" seeds were Black Krim alone, and were smallish due to some other reason.
