Had some wind a few days back but got things straightened up pretty good. Started letting a couple families set some open pollinated fruit for test purposes. Most families have plants with 10-12 ft mains. Well yesterday a real doozy came through and made the plants look like a swarm of squid heading north. Before the wind there was little plastic visible. More rain today so no tromping in the patch scheduled. Have plans to remove about half of the 140.5's. No super high lobe counts have appeared as hoped. Speculating now that the 8 lobe female was a conjoined twin and not a heritable genetic trait. Still could be proven wrong so I will keep the plants that have been prone to throw more 4+ lobed females. Across and between all families there has been quite a variation of the number of females produced per plant along with lobe counts. I've isolated a couple 140.5 and 151 plants that I will self pollinate for seeds for the future if the storms haven't killed them.
