This Spanish taste sensation comes in 2 varieties; our grower cannot confirm which appearance will grow, but it is certainly a Cucurbita maxima with very tasty flesh. One variety has a bumpy skin like the Italian Marina di Chioggia, the other has a smooth skin and resembles Crown Prince and Sweet Mama. The diameter is approximately 30-40 cm, a very manageable pumpkin for delicious cooking!
Pumpkins can be grown outdoors without problems. The growing tips can be pruned regularly and are edible! Harvesting during dry weather provides the best storability. All pumpkins are edible! For some varieties, we list synonyms, which are the names under which the variety is also known.
