This is the new set on Ashton's 1912 Stelts x 1109 Jutras. Massive vines, male flowers, and leaves... The vine in the picture coming off the pumpkin is a tertiary or quaternary (the plant has been dead ended multiple times) its very young yet its already as thick as a mature main vine.

There is a mineral or two missing still, the plant isnt as keen to grow the fruit as it is to grow the green parts, but oh well.

I might be able to get this one to grow blossom down but the rediculously thick (and relatively short) stem will need to bend a fair bit more...
