My fruit were growing rappidly for about three weeks then suddenly changed
and grew at a slower pace for another three weeks and now more slowly again
and one seems to have stopped. I now suspect they will not reach 200 kg.
The turning point for the change in growth rates was dramatic, one day this
rate the next a slower rate. Same day for both fruit on two separate plots.
Any thoughts on this.
Is it a function of the fruit, the vine, is it just running out of
resources.
I have been blaming El Nino, everyone else is, and it makes sense that hot
weather can cause fruit to mature faster.
Last year I grew a bigger fruit on a plot half the size.
