So that's Chocolate Stripes, not an heirloom, not a legacy variety, but OP, either from an accidental X pollination or a deliberate one, but I'm betting on the former.  |
I'm wondering why you're betting on a bee cross, when the person who introduced it said SC x "a pink fruited" variety. How would he know it was a pink fruited variety if a bee did the crossing?
I also wonder why it couldn't be SC x pink since the pink could be a striped variety as well, something like Pink Tie Dye, thereby donating even more pronounced striping that SC donated.
But then, I'm like you. I always question and wonder more than accept verbatim.
