Cucurbita maxima boer ford `Nadym�

I created the biggest boer ford 'Nadym' now with an averaged weight of 30 kg (from 24 to 36).
This shiny white fruit on the old farmer's scales has 80.5 lbs. or 36,5 kg, 50 cm averaged diameter, the hight of averaged 26,5 cm and the stem-to-blossom-axis of only 20 cm.
That makes a ratio of 2,5 for diameter/sb-axis.
That's a real cheese loaf when it turns more yellowish in late winter.
This variety with now deep yellow and dark orange flesh in November is storable until spring.
Flesh is very dense and so will be best for industrial processing.
Now I have to select a few years to establish the wide and flat shape.
