This is the fruit that was on the main vine of the 649 Spada. The marks are from rolling around in my truck. I have made my decision, albeit a tough one. I will be growing the 649 fruit on a secondary vine. Here are some reasons:

1. main was a 3 lobe

2. main was after an early season break in the main (chair fell on it). Seems the plant was growing fine, but the fruit was growing slow, maybe this was why, maybe not

3. 5 day average on main was less than 3 pounds, in fact in the last 24 hours, it seems to have lost 0.5 pounds.

4. secondary fruit is taping 131 OTT on day 18, so is doing fairly well.

Well thats it. I hope I made the right decision. We will never know though, will we.
