1725 Harp x 1625 Gantner

It came in just above chart, 1143 pounds. My plan was to cross the 1495 Stelts with the 1725 Harp, which had surprisingly never been done before. I couldn't get the 1495 over the winter, but may have done one better with the 1625 Gantner (1495 x 1495). These two family lines are fairly different, and I tried to bring in fresh genes from older powerhouses instead of the close inbreeding that has been in the last couple years largest fruits.

I'll show a better breakdown in a few weeks after the weigh-offs. The reverse cross of this fruit, the 1625 Gantner x 1725 Harp will be weighed in a couple weeks and shows some pretty exciting potential if it keeps together. Thanks to Eddy, who got both seeds into my hands in order to make the cross.
