Cold in the patch this morning; 48 degrees. This is the first female to show up on the 1724.5 Steil. Problem is it is on a secondary and the leaf stalk on the right side of the picture is the main. I will go ahead and pollinate this one as an emergency backup. But If I have to keep it I will have to cut the main off. The 559 last year was a similar situation, only on a tertiary that close to a secondary. I didn't get the secondary cut off soon enough and it split the vine and the stem. But there is a tiny female about 4' farther out on the main that I hope to pollinate in early July.
