1662.0 DeBacco ’15 (x 1367 VanHoutte)
Day: 30
OTT: 261.5”
Est. Weight: 399 pounds
This pumpkin has a shape similar to the parent, and I am also hoping the high percent heavy trait also carries over. One odd characteristic that I have noticed is this plant did not like the recent heat wave as the leaves that were developing at this time simply burned, and then when cooler tempers return the burning stopped. I have heard that this plant was very heat tolerant even in the Kentucky summer, so I guess I chose my seedling poorly;-) but I still have plenty of good (well ventilated) leaves to hopefully push this pumpkin the rest of the season.
