My giant pumpkin of 2024, grown in the Botanical garden of Moscow State University in Moscow, Russia.
This pumpkin has excellent potential and pedigree. A friend from Germany gave me seeds 563 Garofano 2017 (2145 McMullen x 2261 Wallace)
In 2022, I grew a pumpkin of only 244 pounds from this seed. But the pumpkin started in August, and therefore it did not have time to grow, but it already showed its potential then, growing quickly with minimal care and early cold nights.
The following year, as part of our competition, one girl grew a 1,071-pound pumpkin from my seeds, growing it on organic fertilizers, in an open garden, without greenhouses.
And in 2024, a 1098-pound pumpkin was grown from this line, also without greenhouses and using organic fertilizers. And both participants of the competition did not have enough experience in growing giant pumpkins. I believe that this pumpkin has great potential, it grew in a botanical garden on acidic soil and with minimal care. I named my pumpkin after a huge star, the red super giant Alpha Orion.
I crossed (pollinated) this pumpkin in 2022 with pumpkin 1579 Gawlik 2018
And in 2024, I pollinated (crossed) with the pumpkin of Ian and Stuart Paton 1688 (1885 Werner x 2907 Clone)
If you like my pumpkin and you want the seeds, I can give it to you. Write your e-mail, I will write to you, we will arrange the delivery.
