Tetsukabuto croce

[Adrian]

What is the difference between this three fruits?

I will wait one month before to harvest the lasts fruits appeared mid september.

[Adrian]

I don't know if the male fertility would restaurated if i sow the seeds of each fruits.
 
The possibles male pollinating was red kury, waltham, violino rugosa and blue of hungary.

[Joseph Lofthouse]

My experience is that descendants of Tetsukabuto F1 crosses undergo normal segregation, and that male fertility is restored.

[Adrian]

The descendants of Tetsukabuto f1 are generally vigorous?
Its just for have an idea with the density of the seedling.

Adrian,

I grew Tetsukabuto also this year with Lofthouse buttercup and the G2 descendents of Autumn's choice F1.

I've grown Joseph's Maximoss before and it produced but I think it wasn't great but then some portions of my squash patch tend to get ignored. I still have some seed I saved and I kind of let it cross freely with the Maxima grex so some genes could be floating around.

I have a lot of space though so what I will probably do is plant the remaining Maximoss seed. All or at least a great deal of the new Tetsukabuto seed. Then also will plant G3 of Autumn's choice descendants and probably some lofthouse buttercup just for eating unless I find a place to isolate the latter.

 Wiliam,
If i have a crossbreeding with violino rugosa i think that he would increase the weight of the fruit and given an exceptional taste.
I don't  unfortunaly grow the buttercup but i Think its great!

[Adrian]

How day are required after thr fecondation of a fruit of tetsukabuto for have seed able to germinate.
60 days is low?

[Adrian]

The rugosa gene of violino rugosa is dominant or recesiv, i would like transmited this gene!

[Adrian]

Harvest of the lasts tetsukabutos but they are unfortunately take the freez at -3°C 26,6°F.

[Adrian]

For sow the seeds recuperate of the tetsukabuto fruits,Must i take of precautions compared at a conventional seed?

[Adrian]

I have open one fruit of tetsukabuto and i have found 30 seeds  viable in the fruit.They are tall.

[Ferdzy]

Sounds like good news!

[Adrian]

Who is the parent?I am very curious.

[William S.]

I've been holding off on the Tetsukabuto F1 and focusing on other squashes. So I opened two. The first even though it stored nicely was not ripe enough and had no viable seed. The second had lots of viable seeds and was much riper.

Ten more to open.

[Adrian]

Why a few seeds look like more flat after to have dried?
