Our current hybridization work.
The following list details the current state of our work. We have work in three stages: pollinated, fruiting, and germinating. Hybridization success here is measured by harvested ripe berries resulting in germinated seeds.
Verified berry set on a cross is indicated with berries. Harvested seed awaiting germination is shown by seeds. Once we have seedlings, the listing will include sdlgs. Crosses listed will remain until berries begin forming or until the inflorescence aborts. Once a cross is verified to have failed (aborted), it will be deleted unceremoniously from the list below.
Some crosses shown below were successful through the seedling stage, then the seedling(s) were lost. Since the cross did yield viable seedlings, however, I have left the listing as a confirmation that the cross has been performed successfully.
The first plant listed in each pair below is the ovule parent and the second one is the pollen parent.
