Autumn Crown produces an abundance of attractive early maturing butternut-coloured scalloped fruits each weighing around 4.5 lbs 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.
Wicked is a hybrid variety. It has been bred to provide superb quality, larger ‘monster ’ Halloween pumpkins. Because it is early maturing it does well even in poor summers.
Bred by Tozer for the Northern European climate. Up to four weeks earlier to harvest than American Hybrids. Fruits average 2 - 3 lbs with a very high level of marketable fruits and a heavy total yield.
