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
