Yesterday I spent time with the F2 clade of [DX52-12 X Jagodka]. There are 28 surviving plants. I culled about 5 plants the first time I scored the patch. There weren't any flowers that looked suitable for adding to the promiscuous pollination project. Fruit size of some plants were somewhat larger than the largest Jagodka fruits. I harvested 16 ripe fruits today, and 5 last time I scored the patch.
Three plants scored high for vigor and for fruit set. 4 plants scored high for fruit set and medium or low for vigor. Some of the plants that scored high for vigor are not setting fruits yet. Not good for my climate.
All the plants are determinate. Fruits are expected to be red, but I put "orange?" in my notes for one plant... I picked the ripe fruits and am letting them ripen further in the barn.
So much diversity... Hard to decide what to focus on next year.
