811 Gerhardt ’11 (x 2009 Wallace)
Pollinated: June 21st, 2014
Lobes: 5
Lobe symmetry rating (1-10, with 10 being the most symmetrical): 10!
Days old: 19
OTT: 156”
Est. weight: 89 pounds
Already this pumpkin is showing the main reason why I planted it. The shape is great and there is some great orange color potential even at the early stages of development. This is the youngest of the three pumpkins that I have left so hopefully, the pumpkin itself will not become infected with the virus that is already running through other parts of the plant.
While some orange growers may not like the color of the pollinator I can say that there is certainly a different genetic back ground to the pollinator, and it should add some aggressive plant and pumpkin growth to the offspring while hopefully maintaining the color of the 811 Gerhardt.
