Squash 'Gold Nugget' / 'Golden Nugget'
- Product number: 213880
- Origin: Central and South America
- Latin: Cucurbita maxima
A very popular small pumpkin, because of its handy size (10-12 cm), its good taste and... its high chance of producing "twins". This is a spontaneous extra cell division immediately after fertilisation, resulting in a conjoined (growing together) twin: very nice for decoration! Colour: orange, Hokkaido-type.
Pumpkins can be grown outdoors without problems. The growing tips can be pruned regularly and are edible! Harvesting during dry weather gives the best shelf life. All pumpkins are edible!
