I focused mostly on cherry size fruit because that is what I am partial to (I know, I'm the anomaly around here. lol!) I think my largest crosses to date have been Hardin's Miniature x Carbon and HM x Ozark Sunrise, HM x Oaxacan Jewel PL (I'd have to check my notes on my other computer). No results on fruit sizes yet on those. I have F3s of the HM x Carbon in various gardens this summer. Hopefully some survive the plagues that have started in my plots already with this weather.

I see a lot of unusual segregation whenever I use HM as a parent. I get rugose and non rugose leaved dwarfs, micros, sprawling plants and spindly upright plants that pump out fruit.

If I were to ever go back to academia (or win the lottery) I know what I'd study this time around!
