Anyone know how big the 845 Bobier that pollinated the 1104 Hester got? I couldn't find any information on an 845 grown by Brett Hester in 2003. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rog. I was wondering in particular about the 845 used to pollinate the 1104 Hester. I cannot find any information on it. I wondered if it split, if he got pollen from someone etc. I'm trying to find out whether the 845 used to pollinate the 1104 went heavy, how much it weighed or if it just blew up.

There is no recorded pumpkin from the 845, but he did pollenate 2 other fruits that year with the 845, his 855 and one other in the 700 range. Both were UOW.

I have a 449 Hester 2003 seed. It is listed as the 845 Bobier X 898 Knauss. I assume, that is from the female plant that pollinated the 1104, and is the reverse cross of the 1104.
