664.5 Liggett(clone)

Description: Sub Main plant
Cross: 1005 Mombert X 1097 Beachy
Largest fruit: 1524.5 Liggett
Planned Cross: 664.5 X Sib
Characteristics: This seed had a couple of problems after germination, it produced two true leafs and then the meristem ended, there were no side vines present, so you would think it would be impossible for the plant to grow. I then dug this plant up and put it in a pot. Several weeks after the plant stopped growing the stems of the two leafs started to get bumps. These bumps then turned into meristems and began to produce leafs and vines, I took cuttings from this “mass” of growth and started a clone. From then on the plant has been normal. This will be an interesting plant to see if it grows normal or starts to do weird things again. Other than that it should be just like a regular 664.
