Default Accidental F1 twins?

I saved seed from Japanese Black Trifele last summer and grew out around 20 seedlings this spring. Most are potato leaf just as I expected from JBT selfed seed. Two seedlings are regular leaf and so far they are identical, but don't look like any other varieties I started this year. The only other variety I saved my own seed from last year was Green Copia and the "twins" have small JBT-like flowers not the large beefsteak-type flowers all the Green Copia plants are showing. Once the "twins" have started to set fruit I'll post some pictures.

The seed I saved came from two different JBT plants at a local food-bank garden. Both plants were in mixed-heirloom/OP slicer rows. One plant was on the end of a row next to regular Copia. The other JBT plant was in the middle of a row, next to Pink Boar and (maybe) Cherokee Chocolate. Based on how intertwined the plants were, my best guess for a likely parent would be Pink Boar.

Has anyone here tried any crosses using Japanese Black Trifele as a parent? And if so, what can I expect in the F1 and F2 generations?

Thanks for any interest in this thread,

Sean
