Description

Outstanding nutty flavour 'orange kabocha' type packed with vitamin C. The grapefruit sized fruits on semibush habit plants, store extremely well. Use for baking and roasting.

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:April to May.

Sow in pots of moist seed compost and cover with a 1cm (½ inch) layer of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 6-10 days.

Growing Instructions

When at the 2 leaf stage, transplant seedlings on into 13cm (5 inch) pots for a few weeks before planting out, 90cm (36 inches) apart in a sunny sheltered spot on rich, well drained soil. Water and feed regularly with liquid fertiliser.

Aftercare Instructions

Harvest the grapefruit-sized fruits from late summer onwards. Cut and store remaining fruits before frost and store in a frost-free area.
