By todays standard, of having to be 100% green to be a squash, it would have been a pumpkin. On the other end, the 1524 Liggit, if grown Pre 2004, would have been a squash.

Either way, was a HUGE fruit.

YOu could say the 1524 is the biggest Bi Color ever grown, Jerry Rose was the largest at the time in 2003 for a Bi Color.

The largest 100% Green Squash was the 1234 Wurstien 2007, to my knowledge.

Jerry Still should get credit for his accomplishment none the less, as at the time, it was within the rules.

So the Wurstien is in the "New" Category.

I say this as respectfully as possible, as all those growers are the best in the world.

I think the biggest red.orange Pumpkin, with good classic pumpkin shape still is Jerry's beauty of 1317.5 2007.

Part of the reason I am ok with the 100% Green to be a squash rule, is that it is harder to get Greenies than Pale Orange, as Orange is the dominant trait.

Green is recessive, and thus I would venture it takes the most generations to get green giants, and the records for Green are behind the records for Bi-Color, or Orange, similar to how the Record for Deep classic Jack'olantern Orange trails the salmon-orange giants by around 300 pounds.

Eventually there will be one shaped like the 1317.5 Rose, and same brilliant red/orange color, as large in volume and weight (or more) as the 1689 Jutras, but by then I expect the WR to be around 2000 pounds and so on.

Anyhow, 100% Green seems to trail the most, and logically due to the recessiveness of the trait, sort of makes is “special” to be big and 100% Green, due to the difficulty in breeding for this trait.

Jerry's 1367 would be good genetics to pollinate with Green or Orange however, as the next generation could possibly go either way with a nudge in the right direction.
