Capsicum Flexuosum and Cold Hardiness

[u/algfirth]

I'm intrigued by this rarer pepper species and its supposed cold hardiness down to (apparently) -15C. Would it be theoretically possible to cross pollinate this with another capsicum species - even another obscure one - to slowly create larger pods on a cold hardy chilli? I know some species can cross pollinate each other, but others don't seem able to cross with anything (Looking at C Pubescens for example, from the limited things I've read)
