F1 not up to expectations
Have an F1 of College Challenger (Australian bred round red) and Brandywine suddeth. Its fruit show that the cross was successful in that the fruit shape and size is different from the parents.
This cross is a dud. Smaller fruit than either parent and lots of blossom end rot.
My question is , how does a cross of Brandywine with a red that is not all that bad taste wise, end up tasting so bad. Are sour genes dominate or what?
