Indeed, I doubt these will produce fruit without hand pollination. I've already tried crossing this plant with solanum chilense, will see if they set fruit. The S. lycopersicoides plant that is currently in bloom seems to have sterile anthers: no pollen is produced at any stage of development so far. Hopefully, the other S. lycopersicoides plant doesn't have such problems.

Any update? How did these do?

Any update? Im on the OSSI open source plant breeding forum now.

Growing these two species again this year. They reportedly can cross easily with each other.
