I was hoping to cross these two this year and get a green cherry that everyone would like. I tried Green Grape and was wholly unimpressed. White Current and Cherokee Green a delicious so I figured this could be a winner.

I figured I would plant them two feet apart and then let them intertwine. Then I would save seeds from both and looked for intermediate leaf types or other obvious differences among the sprouts. Could I expect to see this?

Also, some have suggested that I directly cross flowers. Is there quick and dirty way to do this? What is recomended?
