The fruit on the 857 just hit 27 inches in circumference on day 10. This meets the current benchmark for a 1200 pounder. Well, I've been able to hit the early benchmarks before. It's the later benchmarks that I want to hit.
The fruit on the 1092 is smaller. 22 inches on day 11. It's only at 8 feet out. The second fruit was an open pollination, and not growing, so I culled it. The next fruit is at 12 feet and pollinated this morning. I'll keep each of these and see if the second one takes off at a faster pace.
A very similar thing can be said on the 964. The first fruit is nearly at 10 feet, and the second is at 13 or 14. The first fruit on that one is really odd, I call it a banana.
For the 604, that one was an "open", and I'm not sure it's going to "take". The second one hasn't opened yet!
So, I'm not sure what I'm targetting for the fair. If the 857 looks like it will be my best ever, I won't want to sacrifice it for the fair. The other fruits are going to be late.
I have a lot of work to do this evening. After that I hope to take some photos and post them.
