I wish I had that info myself. But I even don't have any contact info for the Club Maspiano. But I will try to find out...

The 1st place pumpkin was grown off a 735 Pukos. Not sure about the cross.

Joe,
you can send me one of those 735 seeds but there's
no rush. We still have time...LOL!

Your 419 from me placed 7th here in Germany and with
the slack rules it wasn't disqualified due to the split it
had.

I crossed my 790 Daletas with it and will try that seed next year instead of wasting good seeds again.
Best regards and hope you have room for me and my family when we move back to Maine in two years!

Hope your new house and patch are nice!

For any confusion I may have caused, my reply in this thread, was specifically referring to the Swiss champion Fontana Gianluca pumpkin as being grown on the 735 Pukos.

Duncan,

This was the Switzerland national weighoff so there were only pumpkins from Switzerland. The 2003 record of Betti Giovanni was not broken this year.
