It's about a solid half hour of typing to get everything in, so I'm
going to have to pass for now, at least. Maybe in a couple days, after
Thanksgiving.

In trees the sex chromosomes are refered to as X & O. Have read why but
don't remember as it isn't important at our level. Diploid plant males
are XX and females XO. So the hexaploid persimmon male would have six X
chromosomes and the females three X and three O chromosomes.
Here comes guess work. That might explain females putting on male
flowers having 3 X's. And why w/o any O chromosomes the males don't put
on perfect flowers, only semi female hence perfect flowers. But this
still doesn't explain Szukis flip flopping like it does.
OK Lon, enlighten us out here.
