CLASSIFICATIONS
HYBRID
Created from a controlled method of pollination in which the pollen of two different species or varieties is crossed by human intervention. Typical F1 varieties are deliberately created to breed a desired trait. Gardeners who use hybrid plant varieties usually purchase new seed every year, however, over several years the seed could eventually be used for open pollination
SU1 - NORMAL SUGAR HYBRID
Normal sugar and harty flavor with a firm/creamy texture. The standard that has been around for years. SU1 has improved foliar disease resistance. Sugar converts to starch rapidly after harvest. Isolate from field, ornamental, popcorn and SH2 groups.
