1766.5 DeBacco ’13 (F: 1676.5 Daletas x 1216.5 DeBacco)

This plant looks like it has the aggressiveness of the 1216 so this is encouraging to see. Also, for those wondering what the background of the 1216.5 DeBacco here is some information as to why I had this as the pollinator…

1216.5 DeBacco ’11 = (F: 1325 Hopkins x 1725 Harp) and the 1725 Harp grew my 1465.5 DeBacco ’11 dmg (due to mouse damage, but was weighed at Topsfield Fair) which was my patch biggest and second heaviest Connecticut Grown pumpkin at the time. Knowing the 1325 Hopkins did not have any 1385 Jutras in its background made it a great choice for crossing. If my 1216 plant did not get infected it was on track to produce a great pumpkin.
