Date: 7/2/02 8:43:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: m*@attbi.com Reply-to: p*@hort.net To: p*@hort.net Sent from the Internet I have to agree,... my 1020 is a mutant .... 4 inch thick flat vine, 24 inch leaves (young leaves) growing like a BUSH squash!!!! unbelieveable looking. The main (flat) vine is about 10 feet now, no signs of buds (female flowers yet) and it is not splitting off and no real secondary vine to speak of yet. I think this plant is going to turn into a pollinator. Anybody out there have a 1020 Papez that is growing a normal vine? David Sterling, MA

My plant seems to be normal and growing the same as the parent. The vine grew round out to about 6' then a "Y" formed. The main vine grew Oval from there but otherwise is normal except for an occasional vertical side vine. The somewhat dominant side vine that started at the "Y" I will control with pruning. The first female open 2 days ago but I only 2 males in the patch and I don't think it set.
