Default Dwarf Seedling

Check out the seedling at the far left of the frame. It is about one month old and is from a dwarf seed (Maralinga F3). Is this just a seedling that won't take off, or is it some kind of super tiny dwarf?

I have a Red Cherry Large plant that is staying tiny too. I posted about it a month ago and it isn't much bigger now. The tiny one is the one in the lower left corner of the 6-pack. I think I will put it in a 6" pot and see what happens with it.

I have a couple teeny tiny ones - one variety, both seedlings never grew (and they aren't drawfs). I haven't thrown them away, they just sit there about an inch tall (the rest of mine are 9" or more). Odd.

If it's F3 seed you sowed then I would expect that you're still seeing gene segregation and I wouldn't expect all plants and fruits to be the same although I don't know the variety and assume it was initially a hybrid since you didn't indicate any specific cross. Yes?

Your choice as to what you want to do with that poor wee plant.
