>Ed-my comment is that the 815 comes from a line that produces hugh
leaves,your vine is probably green and thick too.
The 733 leaves are probably average.
Although it is interesting to observe these differences,they bear no
relationship to the pumpkin that you will end up with on the different plant
types,in my experience.
Probably the total leaf area to feed your fruit later on is more important
than the size of individual leaves.
Evolution of the heavy ones is by fruit selection,there are many different
types of plants that produce these fruit. Al Eaton
