Pumpkin Rouge Vif D'Etampes

Botanical Name: Cucurbita maxima

Cinderella Pumpkin. This centuries old French Heirloom is the one Cinderella's fairy godmother turned into a coach in the well known fairytale. The large 6-15kg reddish-orange fruits have very pronounced deep ribs and are flattened top and bottom. Much better for decoration than for cooking although other reference books state that "the thick sweet flesh can be used in pies and as a general winter Squash". (120 days)

Heirloom; 20-25 degrees; 7-14 days; 200cm apart; Tender; 2; Transplant; 12 seeds; Gourmet.
