Description

High-production, reliable classic from the 19th century.

A tried-and-true variety from the mid-19th century, weighing approximately 2–2.5 kg, it's ideal for children's hands and popular in the US for the classic pumpkin pie because of its good, relatively dry flesh. It grows reliably with good yields.

Good pumpkin for pie and soup.

Maturation time: 85 days.

New England Pie is moderately ranked.

C. pepo grows well in warm, well-drained soils, pre-cultivated and planted out by sowing from late April or direct sowing from early May.

Optimal germination occurs at 24–30°C. When sowing, place 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, cooler location.

The planting distance for pumpkins depends on the tendril behaviour.

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