The Cucurbita pepo Carnival F1, also known in Europe as Chameleon, is a unique and highly decorative acorn squash. This variety stands out for its multi-colored fruits, which range from green to yellow and orange, making each one a true eye-catcher. With an average weight of 0.8–1 kg, the fruits are ideal for decoration, flower arrangements, and autumnal arrangements, but they can also be used in culinary creations.
Carnival F1 is known as a high-yielding and robust variety that is not only visually appealing but also grows reliably under a variety of conditions. Its compact, bushy habit and moderate vine growth make it suitable for both gardeners with limited space and professional growers looking to offer a decorative and colorful product.
Carnival F1 pumpkins are acorn-shaped, with a decorative, multi-layered color pattern that can vary from fruit to fruit. Their light weight makes them ideal for creative uses, such as:
Autumn decorations and flower arrangements
Halloween and seasonal presentations
Table decorations and thematic arrangements
Despite their ornamental value, the fruits are highly productive and robust, making the variety suitable for sale at markets or farm shops. The uniform weight and consistent shape make for an attractive, easy-to-handle end product.
Carnival F1 has moderate climbing habit, meaning the plant develops compactly and requires relatively little space. Acorn squash are generally less demanding regarding planting distance, allowing multiple plants to be planted close together without compromising quality. This makes the variety particularly suitable for small gardens, greenhouses, and raised beds.
Recommended planting distance depends on vine growth and available space, but generally about 0.8–1 m² per plant is sufficient for optimal fruit development.
Carnival F1 grows best in warm, well-drained soil with ample sunlight. The following methods are recommended for successful cultivation:
Pre-cultivation from the end of April, followed by planting out after the last night frost
Sow directly from early May, as soon as the soil has warmed up sufficiently
The optimal germination temperature is between 24–30°C. Sow the seeds with the pointed end down or flat and do not keep the soil too moist. After germination, the young plants should be placed in a brighter, cooler location to promote strong, healthy growth.
The ripening time is approximately 95 days, making Carnival F1 a mid-early variety suitable for harvest in early to mid-autumn.
The versatility of Cucurbita pepo Carnival F1 makes the variety suitable for several applications:
Decorative: thanks to the unique, multi-coloured pattern and acorn shape, ideal for autumn decoration, flower arrangements and table decorations
Commercial: uniform, high-yielding and robust, suitable for sale at markets and farm shops
Culinary: Lightweight fruits can also be used in the kitchen, for example in oven dishes or stews
The combination of colorful fruits, high productivity, and compact growth makes Carnival F1 an excellent choice for growers who value both aesthetics and yield.
