Cross-pollination, pumpkins & peppers
Aside from AGs, I'm planning to plant a variety of peppers this year. A
gardner at the nursery told me to plant the sweet peppers away from the
hot peppers or even my bell peppers would end tasting spicy.
I know that when an AG crosses with a gourd, the resulting pumpkin will
be orange but that seeds from it will produce some green fruit.
So, is it possible, in the pepper world that cross-pollination between
different types would cause a change in the make-up of the immediate
fruit?
Or, is there some scientific gardening phenomenon other than cross
pollination that could cause such a change to occur?
Any input or discussion would be greatly appreciated.
