Goldetti F1 is known for its uniform, robust fruit and bushy growth, making it an excellent choice for both home gardeners and professional gardeners looking for a productive and easy-to-care-for squash.

Properties of Goldetti F1

Goldetti F1 is an F1 hybrid distinguished by its uniform fruit shape, firm skin, and excellent storability. The fruits are slightly elongated, quite compact, and can be easily transported and stored without loss of quality. The bushy growth of this variety means the plant remains compact and requires less space than vigorously vining pumpkins, making it ideal for smaller gardens or limited growing areas.

The combination of a decorative green color at the beginning and a yellow finish at maturity also makes Goldetti F1 attractive for markets and ornamental purposes. This variety is suitable for gardeners who want a versatile pumpkin that is both visually and culinary valuable.

Culinary applications

The unique characteristic of Goldetti F1 is its spaghetti-like flesh. When cooked, the flesh easily flakes into long, soft strands resembling spaghetti. This makes it a perfect healthy alternative to pasta, suitable for soups, salads, or casseroles.

With a light, neutral flavor and tender texture, Goldetti F1 makes it easy to prepare a healthy and nutritious dish. The fruits are also easy to portion, making them ideal for both families and culinary professionals.

Cultivation advice

Goldetti F1 grows best in warm, well-drained soil. You can plant the variety pre-grown from late April or sow it directly from early May. Optimal germination occurs at temperatures between 24–30°C, ensuring a quick and reliable start to cultivation.

When sowing, it's important to point the pointed end of the seed downwards or lay the seed flat and not to keep the seed too moist. After germination, the young plants can be moved to a brighter, cooler location to develop strong, healthy plants.

Ripening and harvest

Goldetti F1 matures in approximately 80 days, making it a fast and reliable variety for the summer vegetable garden. Thanks to its compact growth and uniform fruits, it's easy to achieve a consistent, high-quality harvest.

The combination of decorative appearance, culinary versatility and robustness makes Goldetti F1 an excellent choice for gardeners who value both aesthetics and taste.
