Hi, All,
As I am trying to make my final seed selections for this year, I keep
hearing different folks mention that certain seeds have the reputation of
being "splitters" -- that is producing fruit that don't make it to weighoff
due to splitting/cracking. This sort of statistic would be under-reported
on the AGGC database since it is based primarily on pumpkins that do make it
to weigh-off.
Perhaps those of you who have studied this issue or who have years of
experience could share with us your top ten list of seeds you consider to be
"splitters." Is this reputation so bad that you avoid the seed, or just be
aware you are taking a risk?
I'd love to see a lot of responses on this one!
