I've taken the seeds from the Rouge vif d'etampes X Hubbard that I was given to do a grow out on.

The first batch shows a big difference in the colour of the seeds once they dried. Three quarters of the seed are a lovely white; the balance are tan.

I've never actually grown Hubbards. Could this be the result of the cross?

Are there any other differences? Shape? Size? Lines around the outside of the seed? Craking?
