642 Dill ’17 (F: 775 Berard x 1998.5 Jutras ‘15)
This plant was a little slow to get going, but this did not last long as it is producing a great plant now. Leaves, vines and everything else about this plant look just as I would hope in any plant. However, this plant has recently had some bad luck during a wind storm, the main vine broke:-( I am going to try and grow a secondary out as a new main, but now the timing of this plant is off schedule.
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= 198 square feet
Main Vine Length= 18 feet
