What a bummer. I lost my chosen fruit on the 1116 Traylor. I Had set three on the plant. I culled number one about a week ago because it was only 8 feet out. So it was between number 2 and 3. I chose 3 because it had better vine positioning and better shape. (#2 was a wheel) So yesterday I cut #2 off and hoped for the best. I checked on the chosen one this a.m. and it had aborted. Well I am not going to give up just yet, on my vine tips their are little pumpkins. A pollination two weeks from now may still grow pretty big. It is funny how your prospects start to dwindle as the season progresses. What feels like a stacked line-up in June or early July can quickly turn into a desperate situation. LOL
