Soren's MarNar F4

creister · January 30, 2015

I traded this with some of you, and can't remember who all I did, so I just realized something. My F4 seedlings came up potato leaf. The F2 and F3's I grew I had regular leaf, pink fruit.

This may be due to plain old genetics, but I recall that last year the plant was next to an Evans Purple Pear plant (potato leaf). So, there might have been some cross pollination. I am going to plant several more of the f4 and see what comes up. I will also plant several of the f3 to see if any come up PL instead of RL.

I plan to grow out these pl plants and see what the fruit looks and tastes like.
I'll report back after the new seedlings sprout.
