Do toms and chillies cross fertilse
« on: March 22, 2011, 18:40 »
I always grow my chillies and Tomato in a green house.  Will there be any interbreeding between the toms and the chillies?  I plan to try and seed save Roma/gardeners delight and Two varieties of chillie.  My guess is not but I am sure someone knows the definitive answer.  Thanks in advance

 tomatoes can cross with other tomatoes, so seed may not come true

The 2 varieties of chillis can cross with each other as well

To be clear toms cannot cross with chillis, or vice versa  ;)

I have heard that chillis can affect sweet peppers but I would not have thought toms.

Thanks for the replies that is very clear.  My intention is to try and get a hybrid between Gardeners Delight and Roma tomatoes.  And to get a hybrid between the Alicante Chilli (a seed I found in Alicante on holiday and really liked) and Cayenne.  I will be able to both these experiments a go in my one green house
