I got quite the surprise when I harvested the seeds. Keep in mind both fruit were pollinated the same day, July 9th, and were on the same plant. The tan seeds on the left came from the 49.5 and the lighter colored ones from the 231. Most of the lighter ones had white tips and are not fully developed. The few that are fully developed are still definitely lighter in color. Nearly all the tan ones are developed. I wonder what caused this. They did have different pollinators. The white tips came from a pollinating plant that started from a seed that was about 30% white tipped. Both of those plants have some similar genetics within a couple generations. The tan seeds go back a few generations before there are known relatives. Could genes from the pollinator affect seed development and color? Maybe it's not genetics. More questions than answers.
