Here's my 1463 Hoelke. Still the most aggressive plant I have. I culled the first pollination a week ago, which is exactly what I said I wouldn't do in my previous post in June. To be fair, I like being further down the vine and I like having 20 secondaries in front of it. The first pollination didn't look great so I knifed it. I'm forking the secondaries up the patch. They will all go ahead of the fruit to the end of the soil. The first two secondaries were dead headed at the edge of the garden. I will grow this pattern on all plants. I haven't had a foaming stump since going this way three years ago. On a straight Christmas tree pattern I was batting .500 on foamers.
