Wicked is a hybrid variety. It has been bred to provide superb quality, larger ‘monster ’ Hallowe'en pumpkins. It is specifically suited to cultivation in the UK and will also suit other countries with a cooler climate. Because it is early maturing it does well even in poor summers.
Autumn Crown produces an abundance of attractive early maturing butternut-coloured scalloped fruits each weighing around 2 kg from reduced vines. The long- storing fruits have a unique ‘sweet melon’ aroma when cut and the flesh is a deep orange with a small seed cavity.
