That's Robb.
It taped at 325 OTT but weighed in at 804.6 pounds. That means thick walls. Unfortunately, I over watered and the main root rotted by the end of August. It pollinated late (about July 21). With the right pollination date and more careful watering, it's a good bet to grow over 1000 pounds. I don't plan on growing it again next year, but do plan to plant the seed from my 870(uow)dmg, which is a Stidwill1240/Hester 582 cross.
