Here is an open pollination on the Borton plant. This was on a main vine that was not buried and the vine remained green. This pumpkin had some hail marks on its top and it was getting orange so it was picked. OTT measurements put this pumpkin at around 95 pounds. Like previous Borton pumpkin a huge thick stem, 9 inches in circumference, was on this pumpkin. Also like previous Borton pumpkin, this didn't get very big. This is how the pumpkin grew, with its blossom end up in the air. The kids came up with a great name for this one because of its orange color. He has been named "Cheeto".
