2670 Thompson '24 (F: 2465.5 Sperry x M: 2560 Gienger) Male Flowers
Driving to go get pollen is something that has become common for me over the last few years as growing one plant limits the ability to outcross. However, growers have been very generous in the past and it continues into this year with providing male flowers. It can be a bit of a challenge to coordinate the exact day the flower will open, but the day before the female flower typically starts to get some color and at this point a panic call/email is made to see if male flowers are available.
A self-cross is not a bad cross, but trying to breed two winners together is the goal of this approach. Many thanks to "Hayden R" for allowing me to get some pollen from his plant. The cross is great for this unproven seed, and the plant habit has been wonderful so hopefully these good genes can be carried over into the next generation.
