First, the baby after moving. The tertiary to the left was removed, about 4' of it, and the two anchor node rootsets were cut off so the vine could be moved as well as the fruit. The fruit bearing secondary is now at a nice curve with the fruit angled off for lots of room then well beyond it a curve back for stress relief after it's buried. Blossom to stem=7", side to side=11", and circumference (tape just below blossom and just above stem to make it as even as possible)=16" Estimated 3 pounds. Tomorrow will be packing it's growshelf and putting sand down. It has a resin lawnchair until vine work is done then the shelter will be put on.
