Yellow bell pepper x dedo-de-moça. Almost all attributes are exactly what I wanted: the extremely mild heat, elongated shape, intermediate size (see pen for size). And the inside is really fleshy, barely any loss. I wanted them to be yellow and a bit sweeter, but I can fix this in future generations.
I also managed to cross-breed chocolate-coloured habanero with some “tree pepper” I got. I have no idea on the variety of the later, but it has a huge yield, so I want its genes. (This would sound dirty in another context, I know.)
Eventually I’ll cross both hybrids, I think I can get lemon yellow peppers this way. The so-called “chocolate” is a red pepper that didn’t lose the chlorophyll when ripening; the gene can be combined with the yellow gene from the above. Then I’ll have four colours at disposal (lemon yellow, “normal” yellow, red, chocolate).
Sadly I couldn’t graft my lemon tree today. Or rather I didn’t want to, with the drizzle outside.
I just harvested my first hybrid pepper:
