If you did then they'd prolly start fighting in the Border Potatoes....
Best to keep them separate.

What are Border Potatoes? Snowblind humor... he was referring to Yankees vs Rebels/North vs South etc... I really think their significant compatibility issues. But I am not sure. WU you may consider contacting Ken Pecota at NCSU who works on the sweet potato program. He would likely know. He may be slow to respond by email. If you decide to call try to catch him early AM east coast time. see www.cals.ncsu.edu/hort_sci/faculty/pecota.htmlCultivated I batatas are either tetraploids (2n = 4x = 60 chromosomes) or hexaploids (2n = 6x = 90 chromosomes). Wild I Batatas are diploids and 2n = 30 I. pandurata 2n = 30 chromosomes. So there is some possibility there but Ken could speak more to your questions. |
