Pumpkins 'Bizen Chirimen' / 'Yokohama Churimen'

A climbing, Japanese variety of great beauty! Ripens late, a good summer (or greenhouse) is desired. The flattened round fruits have a deeply sunken stem attachment. The almost black fruits have sharp, asymmetrical ribs and are often covered with warts. Eventually, the fruits ripen indoors to a beautiful, leathery brown colour. The average size is 15x10cm. The orange-yellow flesh is firm, sweet and aromatic: highly recommended!

Pumpkins can be grown outdoors without any problems. The growing tips can be pruned regularly and are edible! Harvesting in dry weather provides the best storability. All pumpkins are edible!
