2154 Sperry Plant Removal
Upon removing the plant there was basically no visual signs of disease. The roots looked great, so did the vine and petioles. There may have been a little browning at the crown (the oldest roots) but they were not rotting. Keeping a fan on the crown is a good way to try and be preventative to potential issues. While this may not prevent the below ground issues to can help keep the surface dry and moving the drip tapes away from this area is also another way to try an prevent excessive moisture to this area.
The structure looks so empty without all the leaves and plant. The pumpkin does seem to look a little bigger now that the full size can be seen that is not blocked by the leaves.
Going with the traditional Christmas Tree or Box method makes the removal process very standardized. Removing the plant is always labor intensive, but having the vines organized makes the removal process as "easy" as possible and the clean-up is as efficient as it can be.
