Very nice!
You are getting a lot of recessives stacking up in some of your F1's this winter. Is X57 one of your working cherry lines? |

Looks great! How many generations are you able to cycle in a year?

Mark, X57 is one of a few F1 hybrids Fred and I are testing. Steve, I think we can get three generations a year, but not much bandwidth yet - greenhouse space is limiting.

Fruit from a second F1 plant, same cross. Among other more subtle things green vs gold stripes.
