Nic, I grew it....... and it was a great big strong plant left three
pumpkins? squash??..........on the plant the fruit had structural problems
the mother seed was the Shymanski 825 and the father 909 lloyd......the
problems that most Shy 825 had were they would get holes at ribs and sag
rings....or blossom  splits....this was passed a little as the one of the
three had a small hole there were alot of internal splits that didn't go
through but this was the most aggressive plant i have had to
date....................I let it go wild as it was green fruit and didn't
care much for it and the fruit grew to 690-576-500........heavy to the
charts.........and eventually went50/50  gr/cream color................I
made a few crosses  from it and wonder the risk
level................977anderson crossed with 1025................brock
744 crossed with it .......the 1025...crossed with the Eaton
853...................1025 by the 866 mombert..........brock
