New this year. You only need to grow five of the six fruit to win this award, with the long gourd as the featured fruit.

I thought that was always the rule. Last year there were entries from growers that only grew five types weren't there?

It's pretty similar to before - you need 5 of 6 categories, but we are only counting your best 5 categories in the calculations even if you qualify with 6/6.

It's mathematically less of a punishment for missing a category, although it would not have changed the winners last year when I went back and compared the calculations.
