They usually stay shiny for a long time... till they change color at maturaty.
as long as it is still growing i think you are ok. when it stops growing then you are in trouble. fruit can abort upto beach ball size.

Fruit can abort anytime but not usually after basketball size.

Hey G1T, I just sent you an email on this exact topic.

Bridgette, I have the same issue today. Measured this morning and had 7" of gain (OTT - a little less than average), but this afternoon it looked dull and perhaps white in areas.

The circumfrence is 76" (Day 24), certainly over basket ball/beach ball size????

Tomorrow I will let you know if they can abort at this size. Good luck Brigitte!

Update...she gained 4 inches of circumference overnight, which is normal for her, so she didn't abort on me. :-)

Great Brigitte!

Same here. I guess I am jsut a little paranoid as everything else has aborted in this Utah heat wave.
