Peppers ..... cross pollination?

[greenishfing]

I usually grow ordinary peppers, California wonder, or something similar in one of my greenhouses. This year I am also growing the Spanish 'Pimiento de Padron'. Will I need to keep them in separate greenhouses to stop them cross-pollinating or doesn't it matter?

Only if you plan on saving the seeds

They do cross pollinate, but like the previous poster said, it will only matter if your saving seeds

ditto what they ^ said


The fruits you eat this year won't be affected ~ but any you grow on from saved seed may well be mongrels

[Sarico]

will be nice to try the seeds as well... maybe a new variety and better taste....

To be honest I think that California Wonder are one of the worst peppers I've ever grown so pretty much anything else you grow will be better - although of course you might have totally different taste to me
