F1 vs f2 foxy lady

[Plantking165]

I'm curious on how different they are i understand that f1 is the original cross between veitchia and foxtail and f2 is foxy lady crossed back with either of the original parent's. I have an f2 and am wondering how the look of the palm compares to f1. Also how f2 compares to f1 on their cold hardiness aswell as growth rate. I'm also assuming that f2 is more uncommon than f1.

Genotype and phenotype!

F2 would be a foxy lady x foxy lady (Exc)x(WxV) rather than back crossed with either parent. I’m no geneticist, but I’ve heard F2 hybrids of anything can be hugely variable with dominant traits ranging from either parent. F1 hybrids tend to be more consistent, and I guess this is why what we know as a foxy lady (F1) has its signature look.
