I realize this would not be a great Winter grow but looks like it has
potential for deck/container growing.
Could possibly be started a bit early if the plant is small for some
time before fruit set.

So far, nothing has become of it. I was going to grow some out this past summer, but life intervened and I didn't get to it. I'm sure I have a bunch of seed sitting around. I have focused mostly on the micros and not done much with the dwarfs and don't have the time to follow through with everything that shows promise. Nor do I have time or inclination to coordinate something like Craig's Dwarf Project.
I'm happy to send seed to anyone who wants to play with these and (hopefully) keep us informed of results. I don't think things will ever move very quickly with these multifloras for a simple reason. When the difference between the parents of a cross are substantial - and they are huge in these crosses - there are far more duds than winners in the F2-F4 generations. (I am just now growing out my first F5s) People are easily discouraged, and I'm sure from the way I presented these initially, people's expectations were not met in most instances.
But they are fun to grow.
