The problem with this method is that you you have to count on the anchor
roots for support of the vine and fruit. Without the base root or stumb I
don't think you could succeed. Now if you could find a way of grafting
these vines onto a good vigorous root stook, then you would have something
good going.

Russ,
Not a problem as the goal would be to get a decent fruit with known seeds.
Deer got to mine this year wiping out the seeds I might have gotten to keep the 1101 Northrup
going. I couldn't believe they ate about 1/4 of about a 50lb pumpkin in one night.
Geez, ticked me off. So all I have is a cross of 1101 Northrup and 1042 Companion.
I have about 800 seeds, but no 1101 Northrup to continue for next year unless I can keep
at least one of these rooted cuttings going all winter until spring.
