Very nice small pumpkin, great for autumn decorating as well as for its "naked seeds" (pepitas). The stems ("handles") are very sturdy and firmly attached. Most were about 6" across, a few were a little smaller, 4-5 inches. Grew well for me on an arch trellis in 2022 and I will definitely grow it again. My seeds came from Territorial Seeds and their description states it is a good pie pumpkin, although I didn't try using it for that purpose.

This variety did have loads of hull-less seeds. They were wonderful. However, I did not find it to be good for pies or baking. If I only wanted the hull-less seeds, I'd grow it again. But I like edible winter squash for the space and water it takes, so it's not for me. Hot and dry summers here and water is precious.
