Both plants have females in the vine tips: the 2063 has a nice round one about 9 days out and the 2075 is maybe 10 days out. And I will be in Kauai. That would probably be in the 13' range and maybe the plant will be too small still. The question is to let it grow or take it off now. I won't be here to close pollinate and probably the plants will be too small. The 2063 could have longest sides of 10' which is better than I've ever done, and a pollination date of June 12 which is crazy early. Still, an even larger plant and controlled pollination is very important to me. So I think the best thing to do is take those females off and tell the plants to try again when I'm here to control the cross.
