454 LaRiviere. This plant hasn't grown an inch since mid July. As soon as the pumpkin started to grow, the vine growth stopped. I didn't pinch any tertiaries this year and this plant has not pushed even one tertiary out! A low maintenance plant. Maybe this is the way of the future. A pumpkin plant that requires zero vine maintenance from pollination on. The leaves are small and so are the vines, yet it still is growing a decent pumpkin. It is a very slow grower but the fruit looks very young, considering the pollination was done on June 26th. It seens like it will be growing for quite some time. No virus or disease infestation as far as I can tell.
