Sugar Pie Pumpkins are the traditional pumpkin for making pumpkin pies. It is because of their sweet, fine grained, orange flesh which is often more firm and less stringy than their carving cousins. They are a smaller pumpkin that weighs 1.0-3.1 kg (2-7lbs) each and be 10-25cm (4-10”) around. They are generally well rounded and tend to stand well on their slightly flattened bottoms. Sugar Pie Pumpkins are bright orange and have a very light ribbing with well secured handles when mature. Vines can spread 1.8-2.4 m (6-8’) long and grow approximately 61-76 cm (24-30”) tall. Most pumpkins, even the smaller heirloom pumpkins need a lot of room to grow.

Additional Information:
Open pollinated-untreated seeds. After 3-5 fruits are formed, the growing tips can be pinched off to encourage fruit development, ripening on the vine, and allow the pumpkins to mature outside. This will increase storage potential. Store your pumpkins and squash at about 10°C (50°F). Pumpkins, when handled and stored properly can be kept for a long time. When your pumpkins begin to change their color to orange, gradually decrease the amount of water. Your pumpkins will store longer if you cut off water 7 - 10 days before you harvest. |
