HEIRLOOM
Heirlooms are open-pollinated varieties that either pre-date, or are unaltered by,
the last 60 years of modern breeding work.
These varieties have been passed down from neighbour to neighbour or through families
for generations, and are prized for their
unusual appearance, genetic diversity and superior flavor.
OPEN-POLLINATED (OP)
These varieties have more genetic diversity and often more variation than hybrids
and can be pollinated b y another plant of the
same variety to produce seeds that are “true to type” – just like the parent plant.
If an OP is cross-pollinated by a different variety
of the same species, it will produce seeds that are hybrids.
HYBRID
Created by deliberately crossing two different parent varieties from the same species,
they combine the best traits of these varieties
to produce greater disease resistance, yield and uniformity.
F1 means “first generation offspring”. These are not genetically modified
but are created through traditional plant breeding techniques.
