1744.5 Fulk ’13 (F: 220.3 DeBacco ’13 “Snowball” x M: 1789 Wallace ’11 est)
This plant is behaving very “220.3 DeBacco Snowball”-like with it slow to develop pattern but once the second half of June kicks in the plants typically are very aggressive to the season’s end. The only positive is this is the only plant (as of today) that has its main vine intact. I am not sure how long this will last but at least it is able to keep putting on vine length.
While it seems the standard for comparison this time of year is main vine length, I have had plants in the past that grow a great main vine but do not ‘fill-in’, so I developed the idea of Leaf Area Estimation which is basically the area of a triangle. (This works best for the standard Christmas Tree style of pruning.) All you have to do is measure the width of the plant and the length of the main vine. Then it is simply (1/2)*(width of the plant)*(main vine length) = Leaf Area Estimation.
Leaf Area Estimation= 32.5 square feet
Main Vine Length= 13 feet
