The Rahe Triamble squash cross
Lobe #1 is crossed with 1180.5 Pukos 07 (1068W x 998P)
Lobes #2 and #3 are selfed.
This is my experiment to see if pollinating different lobes with different pollen is a practical idea.
The stigmas were pollinated using an artist brush using reasonable care not to share pollen.
I chose the Triamble squash for 2 reasons.
The distinct shape will make it easy to tell which seeds are from what lobe.
Green is a recessive trait so only the seeds from the selfed lobes will grow green triamble squash.
The seeds from lobe #1 should grow a much larger fruit that most likely won't be green.
