Re: Any 3-lobers on the AGGC site?

I would agree that all things being equal, I'd take the five lober over the three. But if the 3 lober is in good position and the 5 is out on a secondary somewhere, I wouldn't hesitate to grow the 3 lober...I don't consider the 3 lobe variant to be a disadvantage, except in possible reduced seed count.

Does the word pruning knife mean anything to you? Go for the gold.  Prune 
those 3 lobers off. The only reason to keep them is if you have nothing  else. If
you don't have a knife I will send you one. Or, you could use shears.  Use a 
4, 5 or 6 segment pumpkin blossom. I don't think anyone would choose a  three 
unless they had no other option. There, I am on record.

Subject: Any 3-lobers on the AGGC site?

Are there any 3-lobe pumpkins listed on the AGGC site? What's the biggest
3-lobe recorded? A couple of my fruits on the 852 Simmons are 3-lobe and they
are some of the best looking so far, so what are the opinions on 3-lobes, pro
& con? This is the first year I've ever had a 3-lobe, and I have at least 2 on
the same plant.

Thanks.

Mark
