Description

White Pearl produces beautifully pronounced, almost round acorn squashes that are pure white and retain their color for a very long time. The fruits weigh around 500-600g and are a good appetizer when served in halves. The plants grow bushy.

Growing tips

Bushy growing pumpkins require an area of approx. 1 m², climbing pumpkins approx. 3 m². We recommend pre-growing seedlings. An even supply of water and nutrients is important for healthy growth and abundant fruiting. In the event of drought or a lack of fertilization, the small pumpkins will partially die. At temperatures below 5°C, you should cover the entire plant with fleece. The fleece should be removed as soon as flowers form. Place a small wooden board, a flat stone or straw under the fruit to prevent the fruit from rotting on wet soil. You can harvest as soon as the pumpkin sounds hollow when you "tap" it. To harvest, cut the pumpkin at the stem, but leave part of the stem attached to the fruit. Otherwise the pumpkins will rot quickly and cannot be stored for as long.
