Linda -- A progression from "banjo" or paddle-shaped falls to
rounded falls can sometimes be effected in two generations, in my
experience. For example, I crossed WABASH (violin-shaped falls) with a
Crossman yellow seedling which had fulsome falls, i.e., not round, but not
pinched. The cross produced a muddy yellow bitone whose falls weren't as
fulsome as its yellow parent, but also weren't pinched. Its
falls also did not have the velvety texture of WABASH. But it seemed
to me to have latent good things in it. So, I crossed it back to WABASH to
try to regain the velvet. That produced 93L1 (l) and 93L6 (r):
As may be seen, 93L1 brought back the
velvet, but the falls tend toward paddle shape. 93L6, however, has broad
falls, while losing the velvet. Both have edges on the falls.
I also crossed the muddy yellow bitone with CHINESE
TREASURE. This produced 93B8:
93B8 kept some of the velvet, and the edge, and was
also an amoena. I crossed it with SWEETER THAN WINE, which has broad,
round falls, the same general coloration, and appears to carry the velvet
gene. The result was G954K13:
Now, the velvet is back fully, the white edge, and
the amoena, but the falls, though nicely broadened, are still a bit narrow at
the hafts. So, I crossed it with STARRING. That gave 02B1, a
TB, and 02B3, a BB:
Thus, in four generations, we have rounded falls
and broad hafts.
