All......
I've seen some recent posts on Flat Vines and believe I have one (four leaf
stems all lined up on the same side of the vine with the next four coming
out the same way. Vine also looks somewhat caved in just prior to the
same-side leaves). The plant is otherwise healthy and is growing fast
(someone mentioned this as another "feature" of a Flat Vine). Some of you
have said that Flat Vines can produce decent sized fruit but the general
tenor seems to be that they're bad.
Question: Should I stick with this plant or is it an automatic cull?

I would not keep it if you have another.
