Early on when the plant became infected I was going to rip the entire plant out, but since this was the last one left I decided to keep half of the plant so I had plant material to get screen to properly ID the virus. As a result I did not move the pumpkin early on and it fell on the vine and as it grew which lead to it pulling itself off the vine. However, the plant was actually healing itself as the stem to vine separation was occurring resulting in the formation of callus tissue. By this time the pumpkin was only attached to about 1/3 of the full vine, and it was still growing.
