pubescens Rocoto X Wilds

[jooboo]

Experimenting crossing my Variegated Rocoto with a couple of wilds. Unfortunately my Eximium didn't survive to do the full wilds.
1&2 Cardenasii looks successful
3,4 & 5 Eshbaughnasii early stages to say.
6-7 my Variegated Rocoto.
Any thoughts?
Anyone know how I get hold of C. Geminifolium in the UK?

how did your crosses turn out?

Yes they are growing. No flowers yet so I cannot say how they turned out yet. Photos to follow.

The next couple generations should be real interesting! I can’t wait to see what you get. You might have to grow out out a hundred of each in the f2 lol

Yes I get that at F2. I'll be asking for help at F2. I also have other F1 crosses with the Variegated Rocoto that I'll be asking for help to find as many phenos as possible.

That sounds awesome!

What are your goals? Variegation in all related species? I’m assuming it’s a recessive trait. With a single gene 25% would be variegated

Yes Variegation in all. I should start seeing it at F2
