Orange Summer is a high-yielding, early-maturing Hokkaido pumpkin perfect for both organic and conventional growers. This innovative hybrid matures 1 to 2 weeks faster than standard varieties, even in cooler conditions. It boasts uniform crops, exceptional germination, and delivers consistently heavier fruits (1.5 to 2kg each) compared to single fruits on standard varieties. Additionally, the Orange Summer offers intermediate mildew tolerance during ripening, reducing potential losses. The medium-sized, orange fruits have a dense flesh, sturdy base, and ideal for long storage.
