Pumpkins 'Orange Butternut'
- Product number: 215030
- Origin: Central America

Beautiful variety that originally comes from Hungary, and has been further selected in Belgium over the last 20 years. The unique thing about this variety is that it does not ripen to beige but becomes a shade warmer in color, up to light orange (with green stripes). The flesh is deep orange and very tasty with a soft texture. Beautiful, slender, pear-shaped fruits, with an extra wax layer. Weight: usually between 700 and 900 g. Ripening is quite early, guaranteeing a good harvest in our climate!
Pumpkins can be grown outdoors without problems. The growing tips can be pruned regularly and are edible! Harvesting during dry weather gives the best storability. All pumpkins are edible!
