Description
British plant breeders have harnessed the cucurbit family's 'precocious yellow gene' to develop this shining star of the pumpkin patch. Fruits appear golden from the very start, turning to deep orange on maturity in time for Halloween carving and cooking. Thin each plant to three fruits to achieve weights of around 4kg (9lb) - the perfect carving size. The yellow gene can also cause the first true leaves to turn yellow in cold temperatures - don't worry about this - celebrate it as an oddity!
