Hi Chrissy,

I don't know if it will set fruit, but there is a good chance I think, since one of the parents of this hybrid is P. edulis (the variety grown for its fruit). The second flower opened today and I pollinated it with P. caerulea pollen. The first one I pollinated with incarnata pollen since that was all I had that day. I have read that complex hybrids are pollen sterile but can be a pollen acceptor, so we will see.

Here's a pic of the second flower:
