I would suspect that if we did the requisite DNA testing, many of the red/yellow bicolors are very, very, very similar, if not nearly identical.....I've grown loads of them. A few that stood out as being distinct are Marizol Gold (foliage is distinctly darker bluish green than many of the others), Mary Robinson's bicolor (young seedlings are just pathetic looking before they gain strength and get going), Selwin Yellow (regular leaf foliage is distinctly larger and rather unusual looking). I could see little to no difference between Georgia Streak, Indian Reservation, Ruby Gold, Pineapple, Regina's Yellow, Hillbilly, Mortage Lifter Pesta Strain, Armenian, and Yellow Brimmer. Not to say that there may have been some minor distinctions, but not enough to tell....for sure, the fruit were similarly sized and similarly very mild (tending to if not flavorless, not my type of flavor).
