Note
We can find little information on this pumpkin. For the moment, its history remains a mystery. We found the seeds in Germany and grew it for the first time in 2024. The plants are creeping, but not as huge as other varieties. Most of the squash turned orange in the field, and those that were still green turned orange shortly after harvest. They keep very well.
