Misilla 🍅 If you are looking to save seeds that will breed true-to-type or to their parent plant, it’s best to save seeds from open pollinated and heirloom plants. Hybrids will not breed true. (F1 hybrid has 2 parent plants or 2 varieties of tomato plants that has been cross-pollinated to produce a new variety) 🌱 Hybrids such as Sungold tomato has two parent plants (F1, Filial 1) and if you try to grow it from seeds you collect it will most likely not breed true-to-type of true-to-seed. 🌱 Majority of F1 seeds are either sterile or won’t reproduce true. This prevents the replication of F1 plants. This is achieved through genetic engineering. 🌱 A seed will be true-to-type as long as pollen is not shared between unlike variants within the same species. Plant isolation can prevent crossing with other varieties to ensure true breeding. ***My book, “Four-Season Food Gardening” is available for preorder, links below. Thank you so much for your support!
