VERY TASTY IN MANY SIZES AND COLOURS!
Through years of (still ongoing) selection and cross-breeding, we are proud of this result: beautiful fruits with an excellent taste! The colour variation is great, even within one fruit. Each fruit tastes surprisingly fresh, sometimes even slightly sweet and delightfully nutty. The sparsely vining plants yield a high harvest annually.

Denominations:
Latin: Cucurbita maxima
