Description

Muscat pumpkin, between 1-3.5 kg. Climbing and heat-loving, late ripening. Strongly ribbed fruits, with increasing maturity the color changes from dark green to terracotta with gray patina discoloration. A white haze forms on the skin. This is not powdery mildew, but a thin layer of wax. Bright orange, thick flesh with excellent, fruity & slightly nutty flavor. Peel is edible, but do not eat the squash raw. Good shelf life. Germination after 6-15 days at 20-25°C.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

In cool nights below 10°C cover with a fleece. Wind-protected location & advance planting is recommended. Fertilize and water regularly. Do not injure roots when planting out. Protect from slugs in the beginning when plants are still small. Sensitive to frost. Cultivation period: 3 years.
