Description

This variety is often grown for industry because of its thick flesh.

Dickenson is an 8–12 kg nutmeg squash, roundish-oblong with excellent flesh. Its shape, color, and light ribbing make it very attractive, but unfortunately, it needs a lot of heat.

Maturation time: 120 days.

Rank behavior: strongly ranking.

Cucurbita moschata needs a lot of warmth and is therefore best sown early. Varieties with a maturation time of up to 110 days also do well in colder regions.

Optimal germination: 24–30°C. When sowing, hold the pointed end of the seed downward or lay it flat. Do not keep the seed too moist. After germination, place it in a bright, cooler location.

Planting distance: depends on the tendril behaviour.

Possible pests: snails, birds, mice, aphids, mildew, viruses.
