I think it will progress fast as it's growth is unbelievable. As a seedling it grows really slow and it takes forever to grow some foliage. It really is a great species for Bonchi purposes.
Harvested some C.cardenasii pods

C.rhomboideum 2009 (pic taken 03-10-2010)
C.rhomboideum...
I will try to pollinate C.flexuosum with other species/varieties but it's a long process unless I will grow them indoors but we'll see . Anyway it's a very prolific plant which gives a lot possibilities for cross pollination and it's sure worth a try
Some pics.
C.cardenasii
Riping CGN 22795...
Thx. This time I will take better care of them
C.flexuosum after 2 nights of frost. Could not see any signs of damage and this is the first plant I've seen that is that cold tolerant.
For comparison C.lanceolatum after 2 nights of frost. Leaves and fruits are destroyed. Most plants outside...
Last night we had some frost and most plants where not happy. Especially the leaves where damaged but very remarkable is that C.chacoense(CAP 501) and C.flexuosum seemed to have a good tolerance against light frost. All other plants including CAP 1478 are affected but not dead.. yet.
I collected...
