Confused me too, BUT, cross pollination wouldn't affect fruit
colors. Cross pollination would only affect any seeds saved from
the fruits. If cross pollinated, next years plants would be F1 hybrids.

If the seeds, held in a pod that is growed on a f1 hybrid-plant, will not
keep the distinctive character of that plant, how the establishment of a new
variety does it work ?
only one f1 hybrid?
Why from the seeds of one pod, that I once sowed, I obtained all different
plants with different pods?
If you have a plant and you would keep his character, how could you make?
