So this is the blossom that grew to 8.68 lbs. This photo was August 10th and I know that it is about a week old in this photo. How old was it when picked? It started to blush a few days before the weigh off on Oct. 19th. So it was 77 days on the vine when picked. Granted, the last few weeks had many cold days and nights. If the weather remained cold enough, it could have delayed ripening almost indefinitely. Other being naturally refrigerated for about a week, it was perfectly timed to make it to the weigh off at precisely the right time, with every last ounce having been summarily squeezed into it.
