1676.5 Daletas ‘12 (x 220.3 DeBacco “Snowball”)

Pollinated: June 20th, 2014

Lobe symmetry rating (1-10, with 10 being the most symmetrical): 5
Days old: 20

Est. weight: 123 pounds

This is looking like it will be a barrel shaped pumpkin based at this point in time. The color is white, like I had last year so I would expect it to follow the same pattern and be a pink-ish color by the end of the season if it makes it that far. The plant is infected with virus but the plant is doing its best to keep the pumpkin growing. This pumpkin is actually one day ahead of where my 1676.5 Daletas plant was last year (when it was also at day 20) and if it was not for the virus I feel this could have been a very competitive pumpkin.
