Here's an update for my records. The Dill is 16ft+ and the Clementz is 15ft+. I pollinated the female pictured (pic is 3 days old) on the 17th at 11ft on the Dill. It's now about the size of a smaller Kiwi. I had seven males open between the two plants, so I just let the bees have free range after making sure two males made direct contact with it. The one I'm hoping to keep on that plant opened the 19th and was also open pollinated in the same manner. I've got my first 1478 female opening tomorrow at 11ft, so the males are on the counter and the flower is tied up...going for a nice controlled pollination to keep that genetic line clean :).
