Sun Sugar F2?

habitat_gardener · May 4, 2009

I was talking to another person who has 150 seedlings to give away at the community garden. Turns out she saved the seeds from *one* Sun Sugar last year and planted them all, and ended up with 150 seedlings. I mentioned to her that they're a hybrid and might not produce what's expected, but she said no, Sun Sugar is one hybrid that does produce true from seeds. (I'm skeptical.)

Probably I'll find out in a couple months if the F2s produce good cherries, since they'll be all over the garden (I don't have one of them; I bought my seedling in early March), but I was wondering if anyone else had grown Sun Sugar F2s. How did they come out? Should I plan to save seeds from my own F1 plant?
