Hi Bart, my 560 Brooks plant in 99 had the biggest main vine I have ever had
about 2 1/2-3in. dim. I too was going for orange was surprised with green
but was happy with plant in end. One fruit measured 111" cir. at day 30 (
it split) the 428* had stem aroud 10- 12" long. My 428 main vine this year
has been growing 9-10" daily(last 3 days)about 12' long now with green
females.
So Bart, green is good...Don't be too hasty in culling the Brooks

I'm growing it again this year and it looks like it is going to produce
Orange fruit. The vine is as big as your arm, well maybe not that big but
it's large.
