Description

An American sub-variety of the bishop's mitre. Excellent edible pumpkin with an unusual, turban-like shape. Color initially grey-blue, later orange-brown with orange spots. Weighs approx. 3 kg, thick-fleshed, rather dry, very sweet and chestnut-like taste, long shelf life Tip: As it is very difficult to peel raw, it is better to boil it in large pieces or steam it in the oven and then scrape out the flesh.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant
