Rocoto Michoacan Variegated leaf looking very sad. We'll see what happens this year.

Yes, the plant doesn't look healthy.

Rocoto Big Brown & Arequipa

coming along nicely

 

[jooboo]

Waiting for the others to catch up. Probably 30 varieties this year, 40 plants in total.

 

[jooboo]

A few Mattapeños too.

Maybe a break through! The full Variegated pods have mainly given me Albinos or Non-germination. I have managed to get 3 potential Variegated seedlings out of 800ish seeds. Started sowing my other seeds after germinating all my other varieties. I've done 300ish seeds from non-variegated pods off the plant and the germination rate has increased massively, the Variegation rate at cotelydon has increased too. Unfortunately in my current conditions, they maybe too late to give many pods this Autumn. I'll still give them a go.

 

[jooboo]

Some of the other varieties grow slowly.

How good is the harvest of the variegated Rocoto varieties?

To be honest I have no idea. I had 3 plants last year from cuttings not seeds. All 3 took damage early in the year. i maybe got 75 pods from 3 damaged plants

Variegated Rocoto seedlings showing promise. Most are starting to grow their first true leaves so I expect them to survive. Probably got about 40+ seedlings out of 1100 seeds. I need to cut the numbers, hopefully 1 of these gives me a sign soon to keep them.
(Can't show the video of the nice Variegation in the Cotelydons, video is too large)
Maybe YouTube?

Michoacan still holding onto its Variegation. Very faint but still there. Will make an interesting crossing opportunity with my Variegated one.
If I cross, 1 variegated variety with a different variegated variety, will I see Variegation in F1? Not the usual F2?

Some closeups of the new batch of Variegated Rocotos.

Thx.it's a pleasure to have you here.
I'll keep my eyes on you.
Good luck,Bro.
Keep in Touch.

 

[jooboo]

Maybe exciting times. Both first true leaves are white.

 

[mph]

I hope that the variegated rocotos will have fruits. The plants have more white than green. Maybe that will be a problem.

I have alot of Variegated Rocotos with alot of different amounts of green / white. These are still very experimental, but still very unusual and interesting.

 

[mph]

Interesting are they.
