Wow thanks for the link Andy, I would say logistics would be incredibly important. Like Jimmy Buffett said "only time will tell" Best of luck.

The center of Minnesota might rise an inch when he's driving it west.

The scale will tell- Either way a great accomplishment- by one of our hobby's

greatest growers.

Can anyone confirm that it was grown on a tertiary? It doesn't seem possible but anything can happen in this hobby !! Lol

As someone who talks to Travis daily, I can confirm! The fruit is a freak of nature and crazy to think it’s possible to grow a fruit this size outdoors on a 3rd.

I can easily assert to myself butt which's
grower'ss''s pumpkin is it.
I vote that it is Micheal Jordan's.
Just...for clarity. eg

Oh good grief, thanks Don! Now I have to live up to expectations lol.

We shall see, one thing I do like about pumpkin growing is you never know till it hits the scale.

This was pollinated on June 5th on a tertiary. Both my pumpkins this year actually were on random tertiary vines, which shows these beasts find the energy. Michael Jordan being the runt of the litter.

Travis did you retrain it as a main or is it actually still a tertiary? We are all pulling for you, we want to see this pumpkin hit the scale somewhere!
