The PUMPKIN variety represents an early-maturing and high-yielding variety with a bushy, compact plant form and short vines. The leaves of the plant differ in their decorative appearance with silver spots, which gives the garden aesthetic appeal. Fruits are formed in a quantity of up to 8-10 pieces on one plant, have an oval-flattened shape and a smooth surface with a characteristic light-green or green tint with yellowish or cream patterns in the form of a fine network. The average weight of fruits varies from 0.7 to 3.0 kg, which makes them convenient for portioned use.
The flesh of the PUMPKIN pumpkin is tender, juicy, and sweet in taste with a pleasant aroma, reminiscent of a pear. The color of the flesh varies from cream to yellow-orange, which indicates a high content of carotene and other useful substances. Thanks to their taste qualities and structure, the fruits are ideal for preparing various dishes: porridge, juices, puree, candied fruits, as well as stuffing and baking. Ripening occurs in the field without the need for additional ripening, which facilitates harvesting.
The PUMPKIN variety is distinguished by its resistance to extreme conditions and low temperatures, which ensures a stable yield even in unfavorable climatic conditions. The ripening period is about 100-115 days from the appearance of seedlings to harvesting. Sowing is recommended for seedlings in April with subsequent transplanting into the ground in May-June, or direct sowing into the ground at the end of May-June to a depth of 3-4 cm. Thanks to its characteristics and versatility of application, this variety is an excellent choice for home growing and culinary use.
