They are looking amazing I think you have to be the Aussie Kiwi champ by quite a long way.
Best of luck and hope they hold together.

Hey Ben - Congrats and I hope that they stay together long enough for you to get them to the scales.

Is that a touch of Powdery Mildew on the Gerry plant?


Other than that.....

Thanks everyone!!!! Its a very exciting time when there is a big one growing! The fruit will finish growing way before any weighoff. I will have to organise an accurate scale and some credible witnesses to have the record officially made. Plus have some press involved.....either TV or newspaper. Hopefully I will have 2-3 weeks left to get bigger. It will all be in the diary for everyone to see!!!!! I will hopefully weigh in the 762 as a new record and then beat that right away with the 845 Bobier fruit. They just have to hold together a few more weeks! 1000 pounds would be great, but already I'm happy :)

Congratulations Ben!!!!

If you need a local to authenticate I would be happy to be there. Actually will be there anyway.

Still don't know much about growing them big, but can count.
