Chili Breeding Part 2

The structure, flowers, and fruit of plant #A and plant #B, as shown here, are very different indeed. Recording the differences between these parent plants now, is important and will be useful later on.

Plant #A - The 'Hungarian Black' chili comes from Kiskenfelegyhaza in Hungary. It can be sown early in February and produces large purple flowers by late April / early May. This plant has many side and lower branches.
