this photo makes this plant look small but trust me it's not. Rapidly putting on secondaries and taking off. I haven't officially measured it but it is probably is in the 13 foot long range. Will be pollinating a kin on the end of this plant by the weekend. It will be crossed with the 1059 V/M if I have pollen available. I still have not seen a single cucumber beetle, etc in the patch. Feeling fortunate for that. Last year they were everywhere. the 754 and the 1059 are both putting on small secondaries but still very reluctant to do so. Drenching with kelp/fish and foliar feeding hasn't seemed to help any. Going to try some blood meal and see if extra nitrogen helps them any.
