I pollinated another female on the 1250 Kline this morning at about 9:30. It was egg shaped like the first one only this one is a five lober, about 19 feet from the stump. The cross is the same as the first one.

Day 10 measurements for 7/4 fruit, CC: 11.5”, SS: 8.25”, EE: 9” , OTT: 28.75”

In the hours following pollination, the secondary turned main freakin split crosswise again! This time I saw the risk ahead of time and gave it some support on the way down from bonering up, but it still split. It took an unbelievably small amount of weight to snap such a thick vine I’m amazed. I didn’t measure it, but the snap couldn’t have been any more than a foot from the growing tip.
