Crossing Questions
Is color at all predictable when crossing two different color tomatoes? Like if you were to cross a pink variety with a yelow variety would you end up with a plant that throws orange tomatoes? Or pink with yellow streaking?
Does male or female provide more toward the overall color? Does the female of the cross provide a lion's share of the genetic make up or would it be more like 50/50? Does male or female dictate size of fruit? Can you tell I know very little about tomato crossing? Allow me  Now no one needs to do it to me! LOL
