Here I am with the 1250 Kline at the scale. 352 lbs!!! About 25 lbs more than I thought it was going to be that morning. The measuring crew there estimated it at 331 lbs so it went over 6% heavy. Now known as the 352 Morrison 2009 (1250 Kline 06 x 1147 Shenoha 08).

Speaking of the 1147, while I wasn’t able to get anything to grow on it (since it was intended to just be a pollinator plant), I did have two female flowers get to the size of large grapefruits before aborting. When they aborted I cut them in half from end to end to get an idea of what its wall thickness would’ve been and came to find its walls were noticeably thicker than some aborts off the 1250. So I hope it bred some density into the 1250.
