The genetics on the 713 says it grew 2-1000lb pumpkins in VERY limited plantings. Thats all the genetics one needs to know !!!!

I grew one in 03, Great plant! Had an 805 go down to mice at the end of August. Same plant produced a 443 pollinated at the end of August after the hole was found in the 805. Very heat and disease resistant. Dale

My 713 plant produced three pumpkins without any care whatsoever this year. The largest on the plant was 505.9.
That pumpkin was growing on about 20% of a stem.
Too bad I didn't get to the patch to reposition her before the stem split. I can vouch that it was very heat tolerant since it was the hottest and driest summer on record here in germany.
I will be growing the seed again this year if she sprouts.
Best regards!
