Stigma ready?

It isn't possible to get a pink fruit from the yellow fruit's seeds.

The only way would be if the yellow fruit crossed again with another fruit, and that would not be your lost pink but something else.

But if you go back to the seeds that you saved from the pink, chances are good you may get one. Depends on the parentage and/or how many were crossed. I would grow at least six if you hope to find the pink again. Maybe ten. Some one else may advise you better! Never apologize for asking questions.

In the end, it's helpful to try and think about those problems, and makes it easier to figure out answers to my own problems too! I have some crossed seeds, need to give that deep thought, but I do hope there are some NOT crossed among them. So how many should I grow? Bee crosses usually run about 5-10 %. Does that mean all the seeds in one fruit are crossed, or only partially?
I would definitely try those seeds again. It sounds like a super PINK!!

There are even ways to grow out more than you have space for in small pots, only pruning to one stem and topping after the first cluster, just to see the fruit colour and get one fruit for seeds.
