The ZS X Black Early F1 was crossed to my Black Nipper F2 - a semi-determinate black cherry selection from the cross Napoli a Fiaschetto (det) X Black Cherry. So two sp alleles coming from the Nipper F2, and one sp from ZS-BE F1, should give a 1/2 chance of sp/sp in the next generation... but chance of a single Beta allele is down to 1/4. No Beta in my 4 plants, and no determinates. I plan to grow a few more of these next year since the fruit were amazing, will let you know what happens when Beta heterozygous shows up.

I also grew out six plants of ZS X Indian Stripe F2 this year. 3 had one Beta allele, judging from the colours. All three indeterminate. Two indeterminate reds. One Beta orange BB, it was semi-determinate.
