Mine tanked due to disease this year. There are no official weights reported from this seed and that amazes me. Did anyone grow one of these that did not make it to scale and if so, what did it look like?

check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa6WXtyUhjA&feature=youtu.be for a patch tour several weeks before harvesting the 1817.

Nice video Bill I am finally on a real computer and was able to check it out. Yep, the 1817 is still on my short list for 2016. I will send you an email for some pics if you have them handy. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video Bill. I did give one a shot last year too, but unfortunately, it split mid Aug at around 1700 lbs. It was certainly an aggressive grower, but had some fairly deep ribs that worried me from the get go. I think the color and skin smoothness would have been great, but the shape wasn't perfect on mine. We had one show up to our weigh off at 754# that was a nice orange and good shape.
