Hi Gary
I have not seen your Name on the List before, WELCOME. 4 Years ago a went to
visit someone who grew a plant from one of my 1995-574 Seeds. The plant had a
faciated vine that was just under 3ft wide at a point 4ft out from the stump.
On that Vine there were quite a lot of bi-stem Pumpkins, several made it to
about 150 Lbs but split WIDE OPEN between the 2 stems. Each stem was
competing for space as they thickened up and the result was a large crack
almost right down the stem end of the Pumpkin.
Nice idea though.
CHEERS
