Cucurbita pepo Jack Straw PMT is a classic lantern pumpkin with round, bright orange fruits that average 6–7 kg. This variety combines excellent uniformity, a beautiful shape, and high harvest reliability, making it suitable for both professional growers and home gardeners looking for a reliable, decorative pumpkin.
Jack Straw PMT produces round to slightly rounded fruits with a lightly ribbed surface, resulting in a beautiful texture and aesthetic appearance. The dark green stem stands firmly and harmoniously on the fruit, creating a professional harvest appearance. The uniformity of the fruits is exceptional for a true-breed variety, contributing to consistent quality in both commercial and home garden cultivation.
Thanks to its powdery mildew resistance (PMT), Jack Straw PMT is more resistant to fungal diseases, keeping the plants healthier and increasing harvest reliability. The plants have a normal, trailing growth habit, making them easy to train and suitable for both large and medium-sized vegetable beds.
Jack Straw PMT thrives in warm, well-drained soil. For an optimal start, the seeds can be pre-sown and planted from late April, or sown directly from early May. The optimal germination temperature is between 24 and 30°C, ensuring fast and even 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 seedlings are placed in a brighter, cooler location to develop strong, healthy plants.
Jack Straw PMT grows normally and requires a recommended space of 2 square meters per plant. This generous planting distance supports optimal fruit development and maximum yield. Thanks to its normal vine growth, the variety is easy to maintain and combines well with other varieties in the vegetable garden.
The compact, healthy growth pattern combined with its powdery mildew resistance ensures that Jack Straw PMT grows reliably and produces consistent fruit, even in less than ideal weather conditions.
Jack Straw PMT fruits ripen in about 100 days, making them ideal for late summer and autumn cultivation. These firm, ribbed pumpkins can be stored for a long time after harvest and are suitable for both decorative and culinary use, such as pumpkin soup or stuffed pumpkins.
During harvest, it is advisable to pick the fruits when fully ripe and firm to optimally maintain shelf life and quality.
Jack Straw PMT is an excellent choice for fall decorations, Halloween arrangements, and garden displays. Its bright orange color, round shape, and sturdy stem make it an ideal pumpkin for painting, engraving, or using as a decorative element. Thanks to its uniform fruit size, you'll always harvest professional-looking pumpkins.
