Here is a shot of row #1 with the 1012 Hester plant in the foreground and the 746 Snyder in the background. Neither are the largest in the patch but the 1012 is putting up the best daily numbers now. The 1012 plant is about 650 sqft. Most of the 650 sqft is behind the fruit. The only plant growth out past the fruit is the main vine and one secondary. The main is probably some where in the 35-40 foot range, its hard to say what the exact length is with the S-curve in it. You can see in the pic how the secondaries behind the fruit have been trained to grow forward past the fruit. There is some tertiary growth on this plant but not much, its mostly secondaries.
