‘Berret of Piacenza’. A rustic heirloom variety from the Piacenza region of Northern Italy. Knobbly, green – ash grey skin with tasty orange flesh. The pulp of the pumpkin is dense, with a high level of solids (starch and sugars), low in fiber, and with a yellow-orange color. It is an ideal filling for tortelli or for gnocchi preparation.
The pumpkin reaches a size of about 30 cm in diameter and about 3-4 kg in weight. To maximize development, a good practice is to leave only few pumpkins per plant, cutting them after the second leaf. Harvest takes place from mid-September onward, continuing until the arrival of the first frosts.
Approximate seeds quantity: @9seeds
To be sown from March to June.
