The Emilly F1 PMT is a high-quality Cucurbita moschata F1 hybrid, specially developed for gardeners who want to grow a compact, productive, and culinary-quality pumpkin. This variety combines the classic sweet flavor of butternut squash with the advantages of modern F1 breeding: uniform fruits, fast ripening, reliable yields, and robust plants. Furthermore, Emilly F1 PMT offers PMT resistance, meaning the plants are excellently protected against Phytophthora blight, a common disease of butternut squash.
Emilly F1 PMT produces medium to large fruits, typically weighing between 1.5 and 3 kilograms, with a classic butternut-like nutmeg shape: an elongated neck and a rounded belly. The skin is smooth and creamy to light beige, firm, and attractive for both culinary and market use.
The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a subtle nutty undertone. The compact seed cavity allows most of the fruit to remain edible, making this variety both efficient and versatile in the kitchen.
A major advantage of Emilly F1 PMT is its bushy, compact growth, making it suitable for smaller gardens, patios, or raised beds. Despite its compact shape, this variety produces an impressive harvest of high-quality fruit.
Important cultivation characteristics:
Compact, bushy growth for limited space
Reliable fruit set and fast ripening
PMT resistance to Phytophthora fungus
Strong leaf growth protects the fruits from sunburn
High yield per plant despite compact shape
For optimal growth, Emilly F1 PMT requires full sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Regular watering and mulch ensure healthy plants and high-quality fruit.
The sweet, creamy, and aromatic flesh of the Emilly F1 PMT is highly versatile. It's firm enough for roasting, yet becomes buttery-soft when boiled or pureed, making it suitable for a variety of culinary uses.
Recommended applications:
Roasted pumpkin cubes or slices
Creamy pumpkin soup
Stews and curries
Puree for pasta, gnocchi or baby food
Baking recipes such as muffins, bread or pumpkin pie
Stuffed pumpkin from the oven
The compact seed cavity allows for efficient use of the pulp, ideal for domestic and commercial use.
Emilly F1 PMT has excellent storage qualities. After a short curing period, the fruits can be stored for up to four months in a cool, dry place. During storage, the flavor deepens and the flesh becomes even creamier and sweeter, making the pumpkin perfect for winter dishes.
