Sch___________Creg is red with orange stripes, and as I remember it can be kinda hollow and not very tasty either. So epi is yellow.

Bred by Tom Wagner.

I don't care either. I just want them to come this weekend and get the snow and ice off my roof before the next big storm expected mid-week.

The original poster wanted to know the history behind Chocolate Stripes so that's what I tried to provide, but getting down to the details of which varieties, directed cross, natural cross, whatever, is a bit beyond the general history, as I see it, especially when at least you and I have some questions about the parentage.
