Gee, that's funny. He sure is listed proudly on the AGGC, picture of the pumpkin too.
I believe you are thinking of someone else Clinton.

I never said Owen Olsen...I said the 706 OLSEN '01 pumpkin.

Choctaw, OK

The 706 Olson was grow by Mike Olson from Wisconsin. Very orange fruit. was crossed with the 702* Olsen, which was a very dark green, thick, heavy squash grown from the 968 sproule. The 702* 00 was crossed with the 344 Johnson 95 which i believe has 923 brown and 800.5 Mombert genetics. The 344 grew a 663 est fruit that split for olson in 2000. The 702 produced a large (800+ lb) light colored fruit that split for Olson in 2001. I dont think the 706 was grown in 2002. I would believe its offspring would be a much lighter orange color than its mother.
