I saw this post on another topic about maxima. It got me thinking…
If you have a hard time growing maxima’s but not moschata’s , why not grow an interspecies hybrid grown in a maxima field, like Tetsukabota.
You then can select for maxima phenotypes that do quite well.
I take the liberty to copy paste a bit of @ThomasPicard his post :
“By the way: will have loads of seeds of Tetsukabuto around spring to trade, partially grown in the moschata patch, partially grown in the maxima patch.”
Now me talking again…It’s from this topic, with a very interesting video about longevity/storage time of Maxima’s, they’re popular in Brazil for that reason i assume.
That way you’ll be two steps ahead. Grow something that probably will like it which looks like maxima and you’ll be ahead on storage time.
Take a look, it’s from four days ago. so 13-11-2024.
