Re: space
Ned.
All my plants were smaller than usual last year due to the cool start to our
so called summer.
The plant that grew the 1064.5 was growing in a perfect tree shape. The main
only ran out 26 feet and it was only 25 feet wide at the base. The first
sec. on each side were the only vines to make it to the 25 foot patch limit
for width when all vines were terminated on Aug 10th.- thus the plant was a
perfect triangle shape.
It was also the only fruit on that plant at about 10 feet from the stump I
believe.
