I'm hoping it will be the 996 haist I'm getting ready to start! What are your thoughts?

might be 1264* Pierpont- you got a great 996 in there mixed with some big Jarvis genetics as well... or one of the Kline seeds from last year... my money's on todd going over 1500...

It has been opened up. Opened about a week ago and I don't have good news on the seed count. There were only 13 mature,good seeds.I will be posting some of the interior pics soon. It had the smallest interior cavity that I've ever seen. About 24" wide by 11". Blossom end was 8" thick. With the thickest walls measuring over 17" thick. I'm hoping to make contact with serious squash growers who grow multiple plants that would be interested in growing the seed to push the squash genetics to the next level and make a good cross for the future.
