This strongly climbing, robust edible pumpkin impresses with high yields of fruits of up to 5 kg and excellent storage life. Its green marbled skin covers a light, sweet and fibrous flesh that is very popular for making desserts and jam. Its exceptional cold tolerance and resistance to soil fungi of the fusarium group also make it the ideal grafting rootstock for cucumbers and melons.
