So, I have really started to dig into cross pollinating my peppers.
I know that no one as mapped the Capisum Genome or anything like that. (Someone should!!) But has anyone crossed a pepper with enough predictability to atleast partially know what may come out. Whether it's ballpark Capsacinoids, or shape, dominant color.
Recently, I crossed a Golden Cayenne with a Chocolate Cherry Bomb. I have the seedling of the next generation started and I am excited to see if it took and what the pods will look like. I have plenty of odd ball f-2 and f-3 crosses sent to me from fellow Chilli enthusiast. And someone purchased the Brazailian Ghost x Reaper from John Ford for me. Still don't know who haha thank you mystery gifter!
Anyway, if I were to cross the golden cayenne with a wide variety of capsicum species and varieties. Think it would be possible I would be able to guess atleast with some accuracy the outcomes? Maybe not all but some?
The golden cayenne is just used in that example because I crossed one recently haha
I know a little all over the place haha anyone got any examples of neat crosses is free to post photos as well haha
