Cross = F: 2287 Sadiq ’22 x M: 2365 Wolf ’21 (from Ron Wallace)
Date = June 4th, 2024
Distance Out = 20ft.
Number of Secondaries Behind the Pumpkin = 21
Lobes = 4
Lobe Symmetry Rating = 9.5/10 (this is a grower discretion rating, looking at the image you may have a different symmetry rating)
This is a great looking female flower with the lobes being very symmetrical which typically means less odds of issues later with shape. While this is not a guarantee of a perfectly symmetrical pumpkin, lobe symmetry is preferred over lobe asymmetry.
