Cucurbita maxima
Old variety from the USA with elongated, aromatic, orange fruits.
The banana-shaped fruits reach a weight of up to 10 kg and taper off. The firm flesh tastes nutty and fruity-sweet and the thin skin is easy to eat. The flavor of the variety is one of the best for soups and oven vegetables and is similar to the "Pink Jumbo Banana". Up to 4 fruits can be harvested per plant, which can be stored for a long time.
Spacing: 150 x 100 cm
