Todd:
I will answer by saying this: flat vines do not set females that grow
competition size fruit. Some growers can't set fruit on flat vines at all, as
they develop in clusters and are tiny. If fruits do set, they aren't winning
any contests.
Be sure to read Dr. Ferrer's response to my flat vine inquiry, which I posted
to the list.
