1216.5 DeBacco ’11 (F: 1325 Hopkins x M: 1725 Harp)
This could be my best plant in the patch at this time. The growth has been seemingly accelerated in all directions over the past few days. Leaf height and size has all been what I like to see and so has the aggressive vine growth. Hopefully, the different genetic backgrounds will combine their positive attributes in one plant.
While it seems the standard for comparison this time of year is main vine length, I have had plants in the past that grow a great main vine but do not ‘fill-in’, so I developed the idea of Leaf Area Estimation which is basically the area of a triangle. (This works best for the standard Christmas Tree style of pruning.) All you have to do is measure the width of the plant and the length of the main vine. Then it is simply (1/2)*(width of the plant)*(main vine length) = Leaf Area Estimation.
Leaf Area Estimation= 199.5 square feet
Main Vine Length= 19 feet
