Great news Goodwin!
I am glad we are getting a few more F1s to look at.
The two F2 Orange b plants I have look good and will go into 15 gallon pots in the next few days.
The 15 F2 Red b (largest) are very healthy 8 inch plants at the moment, and I will plant most of these in the ground this weekend at my mom's place in san diego. There is already a large amount of variation apparent in the leaf shapes
The one Orange a F2 Plant I have left from the fall has finally set fruit and it is clearly a beefsteak, very wrinkled and oblate fruit. Recall the other one I had gave small bicolor cherries. I am sure I will be able to pick a few of these before I move and let them table ripen for a few seed and color ID. Frogsleap is the only one growing new plants of these this year, and it should be quite interesting to see what he gets. Wish I had started a few of these for myself!
Either way, this probably means any one growing several F2 plants from any line has a good chance to get some beefsteak type fruit along with the cherries.
Can't wait to see what we all get!
