First, my 627(97) cross was the 796.5(96)Bobierx1006(96)Greer. The plant
produced three flawless, orange, round pumpkins. The others were about 580
and 480 lbs. The plant was infected by a cucumber beetle and suffered from
bacteria wilt. For about half the growing season the center of the plant was
rotted , and only part of the vines to each pumpkin itself contributed to
each fruits growth. I feel that there was much more potential for fruit
growth, but due to the wilt(in all my plants that year) true growth potential
was never realized. I hope this information helps.
By the way, I took 1998 off and maximized my patches soils. Hope the beetle
problem is gone, but will take precautions to eliminate. Look for some
monsters this year from my patches. Ready and able. Good luck to all in 99.
Bill
