646 Story plant.Challenges of a narrow plot(7ft).Zig zag of the main(continues out bottom left of pic).First fruit is 17cc at 8 days,all three with a healthy shine.I planted this one before I knew the direction of the first true leaf and lost the coin toss(Sunday rush before the work week).The main also ribbon vined.Interventions succeeded,thanks to some of the postings I read...Looking like a first pollination on the 746 Snyder by the end of the week,around 9ft out.Lost the end of the main a few weeks ago.A bug chewed off the tiny tip(can't even take a day off of bug prevention?).Secondary nearby really stepped up quickly...Veader plants coming along,hoping for a pollination in early August and a warm September.Just might happen the way our May-Junes are cool now,autumns warmer.The second 786 has a really chunky main....
