1565 Wolf 2024 (2287 Sadiq x 839 Sandercock) The 2287 plant that I went with was the backup plant to the 2287 that was eaten by a deer. It was a bit behind, then sustained damage to the main vine tip from the wind just after the first female. Instead of retraining a new main, I went with the first female, as the plant didn't seem robust enough to retrain and wait an extra week or two for a bigger plant at pollination time. The 1565 was only 8 feet out, and I also had two other fruit about 500# each on the plant as well. I wasn't too happy with the shape - between the deep rib and a lot of meat above that sucked in blossom end, I was a bit worried with transport but it survived fine.
