Description

Pumpkin Atlantic Giant
Cucurbita maxima

Seeds from a giant pumpkin we’ve hand-pollinated, weighing at least 300 lbs. Requires a lot of space, minimum 15′ x 15′ per plant. Edible flesh, but not very tasty. 120 days to maturity.

With a minimum of effort, you can easily obtain squash weighing 50 to 100 pounds. If you keep just one fruit per plant, it could be 200 pounds or more. If you’d like to make boats with your pumpkins or win contests, here are the instructions: https: //potirothon.wordpress.com/articles/

Full sun. Well-drained, rich soil. Sow indoors 2 to 3 weeks before transplanting. Transplant when the temperature is above 10°C or under a heated shelter. 2 cm deep. 2 metres or more between plants.

Germination: 99% in December 2025 (with scarification)
