179.4 DeBacco ’14 “Marshmallow” (F: 335 Scherber x M: 1734.5 Steil)
Sadly I am going to be removing this plant today because the chosen female flower did not look right. It is hard to pull a plant that looks this great but I am fortunate to have five other plants so I feel that I can be aggressive in my decision making. I have found in the past if the lobes in the female flower were malformed this equates to high odds of having a malformed pumpkin and typically this leads to the pumpkin splitting later in the season. This is why I developed my 1-10 lobe symmetry rating to be able to track my theory.
