Yup.....took my 1725 16 feet to have the first female several years ago......so be diligent in your pollination....techniques..... I didn't see a second female till 22 feet......Good Luck Im liking that 1579 a whole lot!

My 1579 is a terrific plant for making vines. It is big and beautiful and happy. The first (ugly looking) blossom appeared at 15 feet and did not grow. I culled it today. I have another pollinated at 17 feet and one around 20 feet. So similar experience as you.

1775 first female showed up for me at 14 feet this year. It was the first female on the entire plant. 1789 Wallace was the same for me last year. I think that isn't an uncommon trait for some of the 1725 genetics.
