Characteristics of the fruits

The flesh is deep orange, firm, and delicately sweet, with a slightly nutty flavor. The fruits typically weigh between 3 and 6 kilograms, making them ideal for both cooking and storage.

Growth and cultivation

The Cucurbita maxima Dolcevera F1 grows vigorously and forms healthy vines. Its hybrid characteristics produce robust plants that are less susceptible to disease and provide a high, reliable yield. This makes the variety ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Cultivation advice:

  • Sowing: Sow indoors from April; transplant outdoors after the last frost.

  • Outdoor sowing: Possible from the end of May when the soil temperature is at least 15°C.

  • Location: Full sun, warm and sheltered from wind.

  • Planting distance: 1.5 to 2 meters per plant to allow sufficient space for the tendrils.

  • Soil: Nutritious, humus-rich and well-drained; compost promotes growth and fruit set.

  • Water: Water regularly, especially during fruiting and warm periods.

The fruits ripen late in the season and are ready for harvest when the rind is fully hardened and the stem begins to lignify. When stored properly, the pumpkins will keep for months in a cool, dry place.
