John,
I think I may have a bit premature in suggesting all was well with the
pollination, the smaller Zehr that I pollinated at 100F has stopped growing,
so I may have to use the open pollinated larger fruit (my standby). The two
Bobier are progressing well, I want to remove the larger one from there
which must be well over 10 kg now (two way OOT of 143 cm). The smaller is 82
cm.
