'Swoosh'

What are the rest showing? Medio variegation or none?

'Swoosh' for me has always produced a high percentage of streaked seedlings. You need to cross it with something of more substance though, but even some of its OP seedlings turn out well.

Rest of Swoosh Seedlings?

Post by wzbt03 »

I guess I would have to say the rest of my Swoosh seedlings are all streaked since I culled off all the green ones. Is that the question?

Yes, that was the question. Are the rest then tending toward being medio-variegated, or am I not understanding your post.

Some streaked seedlings can produce both types of variegation. You can isolate them separately.
