Cucurbita moschata Shishigatani
Cucurbita moschata Shishigatani
A very special variety, already over 100 years old.
This variety from Japan is very interesting. Shishigatani is a cross between a Black Futsu type and a butternut.
The fruits weigh approx. 1-1.5 kg, are very attractive and turn from green to bright dark orange. They last quite well.
Ripening time: 110 days.
Moderate trailing behavior.
Cucurbita moschata require a lot of heat and is therefore better to be pre-cultivated. Varieties with a ripening time of up to 110 days also thrive in cold regions.
Optimum germination at 24-30o C. When sowing stick the pointed side of the seed down or lay them flat. Do not keep the seed too moist. After germination, place in a brighter and cooler place.
The planting distance for pumpkins depends on the trailing behavior.
Possible pests: snails, birds, mice, lice, powdery mildew, virus.
Supplied as raw (normal) seed.
