2154 Sperry '23 "Keeper" Lobe Inspection

While not scientific, anything from 3 to 6 lobes is a good number. The symmetry of the lobes may have some impact on the symmetry of the final pumpkin, at least in my experiences. Seeing the lobes being very symmetrical, ideally increases the odds of the pumpkin being the same way. When breeding to push the limits a symmetrical shape should have improved consistent structure with the hopes of reducing the chance at a structural failure of the pumpkin itself.
