If you don't have access to AGGC you might have to ask the grower. Or, if the grower has a diary here it might help answer some questions.

I'm guessing that was my 684 your talking about. It was weighed on a state certified scale and the weight ticket posted in my diary. It was weighed at a landfill, and I contacted the state Dept. of Weights and Measures to inquire about the accuracy of the scales. They assured me that the scales were accruate to within 20 pounds. Since I wasn't looking for an official weight, that was close enough for me. The 800 UOW is not used because of the large window (780-820). Because of that it's the 684 M. Wallace est.
What info are you looking for? The fruit was grown on the 905 Ailts and was pollinated by the 1097.5 Beachy. The fruit began growing as a wheel and rolled over onto the stem side on day 28. Growing as a birdbath, it finally split out the blossom end on day 48. Final measurements were: C 150, S-S 85, S-B 84. Here is a pic of it from my diary last year on the day it split:
