crossing for flavour
Which way cross would any of you advise regarding a very sweet cherry tom , and a large heirloom variety with the aim to get the cherry type flavour into the larger variety.
Would it be better to cross the smaller cherry pollen onto the large variety, or cross the large variety pollen onto the small cherry. I am not realy after a larger cherry type, but rather a sweeter large tomato of the heirloom type. If I did it cherry into larger type, then back crossed the cherry into the resulting progeny would I eventualy get medium sized sweet tomatoes. |
