The 565Andrews was a side vine fruit from the 879Rockwell that grew for only
60 days .Borers ,drought,and the hottest year on record here on Long Island
did a number on the plant....I can only imagine what would have been if it
didn't get the borers(like where Brett grows),had a big plot(like where Brett
grows),an experienced grower(like Brett) and a good pumpkin growing
environment (like Brett's), and managed a main vine fruit(like Brett would
surely manage) and grew for 80 days(like Brett would have it do).Having more
than a little squash information at my disposal i agree with Rocky.I think
the 879 has more potential for a big one than the 821Stellpflug AND the
738Stellpflug.......just my humble opinion(never grown anything official over
568lbs)........
