Description

A very special breed, over 100 years old.

This variety from Japan is very interesting. Shishigatani is a cross between a Black Futsu type and a butternut squash.

The fruits weigh approximately 1–1.5 kg, are very attractive, and change color from green to bright dark orange. They keep fairly well.

Maturation time: 110 days.

Moderate climbing growth behaviour.

Cucurbita moschata requires a lot of warmth and is therefore best cultivated in advance. Varieties with a ripening time of up to 110 days also thrive in colder regions.

Optimal germination occurs at 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, cool location.

The planting distance for pumpkins depends on the tendril behaviour.

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