Great job -- I know that is a lot of work! I noticed some apearing on both lists with same numbers -- just wondering if it would be more proper to compare the top 5 of on the 10 list to the 5 list? If so the 1161 and 1421 are both over 1500! I know that isn't quite the same as more on the 10 list was grown and thus would skew it -- just a question??? Also, 1068 wallace is in family tree of like 90 percent of all top fruit ... and the 1161 and 1421! just my observation. Anyway, fantastic job Jamie!

Ideally SWdesert what I'd like to do is run the same top ten lists with a minium of 5 progeny and 10 progeny but drop the bottom 10% of progeny from the formula. One weakness with the top 10 lists above is there are pumpkins listed that for whatever reason were not grown to their potential (sometimes grown just for seeds, other times grown by an inexperienced grower). Some new pumpkins would make the list if the lists were done that way because the curve breakers would be eliminated. None the less, it would be hard to argue that any of the seeds on the lists couldn't grow someone a personal best which is why this list is posted here.
