Default Hardin's Miniature genes

I posted this in Crosstalk but got no replies; hoping more people will see it in General Discussion.

Is any portion of the Hardin's Mini foliage appearance dominant? I'm thinking of the blue-grey color and/or the rolled leaves? I want to know what to expect in an f1 cross.

Not much info from Tania

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/w...%27s_Miniature

So I googled it

https://www.google.com/search?q=Hard...&bih=790&dpr=1

Maybe I'm missing something but there are many so called miniature ones such as

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Red_Robin

The above is a dwarf, but it shouldn't make much difference,I would think. Meaning, I don't see any blue/grey foliage, but I do know some indeterminates that have blue/grey foliage.

Hardin's Miniature foliage is distinct in that it is very blue-grey and the leaves tend to roll and even droop a little. Not all minis are like that.
I've been trying to glean the answer from this thread:
http://www.tomatoville.com/showthrea...ardin%27s+mini
but it's 26 pages, and they don't mention f1 much. I'm hoping ChrisK will chime in.

Chris was last here at Tville on Dec 11th, 2016, so I don't think he will be stopping by unless,you want to take a chance on PMing him and see if he replies .
