- Cucurbita moschata
Bag of 12 seeds
This sweet, orange-fleshed variety is excellent for pies, soups and baked dishes. The fruit is teardrop-shaped. Thanks to their very tough skin, they can be kept for almost a year.
In cool climates, this variety sometimes fails to ripen and can therefore be eaten immature. It is not very sensitive to attack by piercing insects and appreciates warm, humid climates.

The Seminoles gave it the name "chassa-howitska", which means "hanging pumpkin". Ranked as one of the 10 most endangered foods in the USA by RAFT, these teardrop-shaped, buff-colored squashes, around 18 cms in diameter, were cultivated by the Seminoles in the Everglades region of Florida in the 1500s. Seeds were sown at the foot of trees so that the plants would climb the trunks and allow the fruit to set on the bare branches. It came third out of 21 varieties selected in "Restoring Our Seed's" Fall 2005 taste contest. It also tied with the "Paydon" variety at the Fedco boutique meal in February 2006.
