Description

Cucurbita pepo Icicle F1 PMT – Snow-white mini pumpkin with compact growth

Cucurbita pepo Icicle F1 PMT is an exceptional mini pumpkin distinguished by its snow-white color, beautiful ribbing, and compact growth. This variety produces perfectly shaped fruits weighing 400 to 800 grams, ideal for gardeners seeking elegant, decorative mini pumpkins. Icicle F1 PMT combines excellent ornamental value with high yield reliability, making it suitable for both commercial and hobby gardeners.

Features of Icicle F1 PMT

Icicle F1 PMT is known for its compact, bushy growth and well-formed, snow-white fruits. The pumpkins are lightly ribbed, which contributes to their decorative appearance, and have a nice, sturdy stem. When harvested very late, the fruits can develop a slight yellow tinge, but harvesting early and then storing them in a dark place prevents this and keeps the fruits beautiful and decorative for a long time.

Although Icicle F1 PMT is suitable for consumption, it is not recommended as an edible pumpkin. This variety's true strength lies in its decorative uses, autumn arrangements, and creative applications, such as mini lanterns or table decorations.

Cultivation and care

Cucurbita pepo Icicle F1 PMT grows well in warm, well-drained soil. For an optimal start, the seeds can be pre-grown and planted from late April, or sown directly from early May. The optimal germination temperature is between 24–30°C, ensuring rapid and uniform germination.

When sowing, it's important to place the pointed end of the seed downward or flat and not to keep the seed too moist. After germination, the young plants should be placed in a brighter, cooler location to support healthy and vigorous growth.

Thanks to its compact growth habit, Icicle F1 PMT requires less space than larger pumpkins, but gardeners are advised to allocate 1–2 square meters per plant for optimal development and yield. This makes the variety ideal for gardens with limited space or for container cultivation.

Ripening and harvest

Icicle F1 PMT matures in approximately 100 days, making it a mid- to late-maturing variety. The stable, compact plants produce a consistent harvest of uniformly shaped mini-pumpkins, allowing growers to count on high-quality, decorative fruits suitable for markets, sales, or exhibitions.

To optimally preserve their snow-white color, it's important to harvest the fruits early and store them in a cool, dark place. This way, the fruits remain beautiful and suitable for decorative purposes for a long time, even weeks after harvest.

Decorative value and applications

Icicle F1 PMT is a real eye-catcher for the autumn and Halloween season. These mini pumpkins are ideal for carving, painting, or incorporating into decorative arrangements. Thanks to their compact growth and uniform fruits, they're easy to create a beautiful display in the garden or at a market stall.

These mini pumpkins are also suitable for creative workshops, craft projects, and table decorations, where the snow-white contrast with other autumn colors creates a special effect.
