1766.5 DeBacco ’13 (F: 1676.5 Daletas x 1216.5 DeBacco ’11)
Overall, I am happy with this plants performance as it is a very nice looking plant. It has been keeping a full appearance with the side vines growing at a rate that is keeping up with the main vine.
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.
Estimated Leaf Area = 124 square feet
Main Vine Length = 15.5 feet
