I guess you really never know what you will get, but hope for the best!

I grew this one from a 1098 Rodonis. 1161 Rodonis X 1662 Stelts
I planted it as an afterthought where there had been an old compost pile and didn't give it the attention it deserved.
Still it came in 14% heavy at 972 pounds and if it had been 55 pounds heavier, I would have beaten Mathison for second place.
