Sorry about your losses Jerry. You had a couple of good ones going there. Just keep those other big ones going now. Best of luck.

How does that old saying go? Believe half of what you see.... Well the half I saw was amazing! The color on the 1031.5 was gorgeous! I hope no one wants any of those seeds! Wishing you the best Jerry! John

WOW.....A 1100 pound "cull" from the Beachy 1097. I sure hope that mine will hold together. If it splits, no one will grow that one again as it is now getting a reputation of a "splitter"!
Just last Sunday during the patch tour, Jim Sherwood said, "The 1097 waits until it hits 1100# before splitting!!!!!" Boy!.... did he hit it on the money or what!

Lots of fruit split over the 1100Lb mark. But not to many fruit will make it to 1100Lbs like the 1097 has done over and over and over,,,,,,,,,

Don't split them all Jerry! I'm bringing one to Canfield that you will like.

hey guys, give it a break ;-P ....barely anything holds to 1100 lbs at 49 days! Thats a lot of stress on any fruit, and also the reason we havent weighed a 2000 lb fruit yet.

Tom you're so sensative :o) Trust me when I say, Stan has a 'lot' of very nice fruit including the 1097. Stan, cut 'er at 1095! LOL..
