also, not too many grew it for a good representation of what it can produce. I think it was a very nice plant.

My son planted it. Slow to start but plant was nice. Late pollination in August. Ended up 452 lbs and went light.

I started two. Both sprouted . One was a total mutant(happens on any seed).The other plant was slow. It along with its neighbors caught a mosaic virus-so had to pull it.

Look for some good crosses with this pumpkin. Say it was crossed with the1495 Stelts or some other pumpkin that went heavy.

I grew it:

The seed came up as a pretty bad mutant, so I started another one. Planted them both and the mutant eventually corrected itself. I decided to pull the normal one in favor of the mutant, since the mutant had the head start and I didn't want to be even farther behind on it.

It was a good plant, sibbed with another grower's 1775 which unfortunately split on him. Nice barrel shape, and it stayed young looking right to the end.

It was only used to pollinated one of my pumpkins, the 1553 Ghaye which made it to 1052#. I really like that combination:
