This spring, I planted several hundred seeds of S pennellii or it's inter-species hybrids with domestic tomatoes (50% wild genes). So far they are growing great.
Over winter, we made back-cross hybrids that are 3/4 domestic, and 1/4 S pennellii. I also planted several hundred of these. We did careful screening of the pollen donors for promiscuous flowers, and self-incompatibility. I'm really looking forward to tasting those.
