Is there any criteria or goals to look for from these crosses other than the
stripes you mentioned?
It'll be interesting to see what comes of this growout.


Lee
Lee - I grew 18 F2 plants from the cross Purple Haze x BTD this summer and found an amazing kaleidoscope of fruit colors (skin and flesh), with and without stripes - many with exceptional taste. My primary criteria is always taste, with emphasis on something that is also nice to look at.

So far I have only run out of seed for one of the F2s. I'm running behind (in general), so won't get to mailing seed until next week.

I'd love to help out, if Wales is not too far away. I'd be very interested in SunSugarF1 x Green Copia and NARX F3 x B&B Boar if possible.

All the seed was shipped today. There are 14 growers (LA to Poland), so the reports coming back in should be interesting. I still have seed left of almost all of these, so let me know if there is anyone else interested. Thanks to all!

It's an odd one. The epidermis is waxy, I've not seen/felt anything quite like it. It has green stripes on red, and red fleshed. As odd as it looks, it tastes pretty darned good. I expect the the Dora x T4 F2 generation will be segregating for stripes (for sure) and probably for waxy epidermis.
