Hefty fruit average 12-16 pounds with a well-proportioned, slightly elongated shape, 12 inches high and 10 inches wide. Superb models for carving. 105 days to mature.
As they develop, their rind blisters up into an almost unbelievable, bumpy, warty terrain. The fruit ripen from forest green to a solid, deep orange. Carve a face and you've got the ultimate, special effects jack-o-lantern!

Plant these moderate sized vines in full sun, in soil amended with compost and a good vegetable fertilizer. Give them plenty of space, each plant needs about 3 feet between them. Each plant will yield about 3 pumpkins each.
Harvest when the skin is tough and they are fully deep orange. They are even great for making amazing pumpkin pie or roast and eat the seeds.
