Overall this plant has shorter and smaller leaves that the rest of the plants that I have. I do not think this is a bad thing, just something I have noticed while vine burying. One important trait that it does have is aggressive rooting which is very nice to see. I also still feel very lucky and fortunate to not only win this seed in a raffle but to have these genetics in my patch.
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= 116.25 square feet
Main Vine Length= 15 feet
