Source of information, please? This seems highly unlikely to me since green
peppers, potatoes and eggplants are also members of the nightshade family and
cannot crossbreed. Their relationship to nughtshade is about the same as ours
is to the other great apes with which we cannot crossbreed. :-) Thanks in
advance.
