In trees after crossing done in diallel mating design pods obtained and its characters can be analysed as F1. It is confusing with agriculture crops like wheat and Maize as yield characters are evaluated in progeny raised after controlled crossing.
After you crossed two plants, the seeds are hybrid, i.e. F1. However, pods (or other fruits) are derived from maternal tissues and are therefore of parental (maternal) genotype.
Seeds (their embryos and plants which will grow after you sow these seeds) are hybrid. But seed coat and fruits belong to the maternal plant.
Dear Jaipal
The answer depends on the interested trait, if the trait related with pods traits can considered as F1 , but in case of the traits of the progeny, you need to wait the grown generation.
Good Luck

Thanks for valuable suggestions. It means pod characters i.e. Pod length, pod width can be taken for analyses as per Diallel mating.
