Here's my two pollinations on the 1985 (x1789 Wallace). About a week apart. I really think I'll keep the smaller one at about 16 feet out, instead of the earlier pollination at about 13 feet. The 16 footer will give me a large plant, and 19 secondaries feeding it. I saw last year how the large plant fed until frost and beyond, with 400 pounds in September. This is the same garden as the 1463 was grown last year, and this year I will give the plant more attention, since my other two plants are messed up. I didn't fertilize much last year on the 1463 and will push the 1985 harder this year. Not going with slow and steady this year. A great grower told me over the winter that slow and steady has never one any race or sporting event. Very true.
