The best tomato in the world? Goals too high? Just kidding!
There was a list of weird combos I saw
somewhere else once, I think it was to do as research to see what the results would be. Lots of questions to get answered. What do you get when you cross a black with a green? a green w/a bi-color? a striped w/a bi-color? etc etc. An orange w/a black? a multiflora w/a dwarf? a multiflora w/a huge beefsteak or oxheart? an indeterminate with a d^x?
Based on some things I have growing now, I can try some of these, preferably PL females to make things easier; if you have any comments or previous results of these please share:
PL BLACK x BI-COLOR (like Ananas?)
PL BLACK x OXHEART
PL BLACK x DWARF (Browned Robin?)
PL BLACK x PLUM (DeBarao Bigger Black?)
PL BLACK x MULTIFLORA
PL BLACK x GREEN
PL BLACK x ORANGE (Oriole?)
PL BLACK x STRIPED (Black Lightning?)
PL BLACK x YELLOW
PL BLACK x GREEN-STRIPE (gs)
PL PINK x BI-COLOR
PL PINK x UKRAINIAN HEART?
PL PINK x DWARF (?)
PL PINK x DETERMINATE
PL YLW x BI-COLOR (Aunt Gertie's Blushing?)
PL YLW x BLACK
PL YLW x DWARF
PL YLW x DETERMINATE
PL YLW x GREEN (Galina's Green?)
PL YLW x ORANGE
PL YLW x OXHEART
PL YLW x PINK MULTIFLORA
PL YLW x PLUM
PL YLW x GREEN STRIPED (Lemon Lime?)
PL YLW x YLW MULTIFLORA
PL x BI-COLOR
PL x DWARF
PL x DETERMINATE
PL x MULTIFLORA (Kimberly's Explosion?)
PL x OXHEART
PL x PLUM
PL x STRIPED
PLUM x BI-COLOR
PLUM x DWARF
PLUM x MULTIFLORA (Well Hung 50?)
STRIPED x BI-COLOR
STRIPED x MULTIFLORA
YELLOW MULTIFLORA x PINK MULTIFLORA
etc etc.
Which look good or interesting?
Bill, I understood what you said but not why... the only thing I see, on paper, is... different shapes? If the parents are so similar, what do we gain or see in the results?
Sirtanon, that multiflora cross is one I'm thinking of...
