Kind of late for pollination pictures, but have a perfect opportunity on my 150 plant. Off the now 10 year-old 1585.5 Werner 2014, this is as much a genetics project as a competition fruit. One of the first multi-2000lb producers crossed with the 2560 Gienger, which is producing a beautiful orange fruit right now. The plant was slow out the gate, probably because of poor seed quality, and didn’t get enough heat support early-season but has taken off now. Plant has about 2/3 of the allowed area filled and is growing about a foot a day. Fruit set should fill much of the remaining space and was the 3rd female on the main (assuming she takes).
