The skin color is a brilliant reddish orange, more dramatic with less yellow in it than the pumpkins you are used to. The flavor is just great, in pies or any winter squash recipe too. Plants are vigorous with 15 foot vines. This hybrid shallot grown from seed is quick to mature and divide. The bulbs are large and round with brown skin and pure white flesh.
Flavor is very, very pungent.
By midsummer the bulbs have begun to divide dramatically and by early fall you will see 4 or 5 separate bulbs on most plants. When you cut into these larger bulbs there will be further division into a number of smaller bulbs. The large bulbs, if cured, can be stored. 2 inch bulbs have thick skins for long storage.
