Seeds have been distributed via various exchanges, so we might learn more after this growing season if anyone gets lucky. It's always possible something could show up in the next couple of generations, but we'll probably never know, since people will likely give up when they don't see stripes right away.
Thank you! I'll only have room for a few plants, maybe 3 or so. But once I start saving my own seeds I'll pass them out to family and gardening groups. It'll be interesting to see if something shows up later or not.
