Answer:
When plants of F1 generation were produced, all of them were tall plants. After that, Mendel wanted to understand the fate of the recessive character. He did not want any other character set to mask the effect of inheritance to F2 generation. Hence, he simply self-pollinated the tall F1 plants.
