I'm not so sure it's all that important but if I could choose I'd always take
the higher lobe count if all other factors such as vine position were equal.
On the other hand, I wouldn't hesitate to cull a 7 lober for a faster growing
4 lobe. Just hope it pollinates and track it's growth for a bit then make
your decision. Nothin' to it.
While we're talking about freaky, count the lobes on this one from my patch.
This one didn't set and was removed today. http://pgpga.com/mutant2.jpg
