342.0 DeBacco ’14 (F: 335 Scherber ’11 x 1734.5 Steil) “Inside Job”

OTT = 249”
Team-Pumpkin 2013 Chart estimation = 346 pounds
Expected Range = 315 to 376

Looking at this pumpkin from the stem end you can see similarities to the 1161 Rodonis/1725 Sweet line that is the pollinator to the 335 Scherber ’11 seed. The plant was stressed in more ways than one with the high heat that is common in a greenhouse during the month of July and I also only gave the plant water with no fertilizers being added so the older leaves are showing a little heat and nutrient stress.
