Heirloom triangular Ironbark pumpkin with thick sweet orange flesh perfect for baking. While the tough grey blue skin is a challenge to cut and might need an axe to cleave it open, it also guarantees a very long shelf life when storing ripe fruit. Vigorous long vines usually produce 3 or 4, 3-chambered 4kg fruit. Sow after last frosts.
Matures 110 days from transplant.
