Connecticut Field Pumpkins are slightly oval, with orange-coloured, soft rind with slight ribbing.
They grow to be 36 cm (14 inches) wide by 30 cm (12 inches) tall, and will weigh 7 to 11 kg (15 to 25 pounds).
They are mostly used as an ornamental for Halloween decoration, and as animal feed.
110 days from seed.
Cooking Tips
Connecticut Field Pumpkins have a light yellow, coarse, flesh that has reasonable flavour for pies and canning, but it is a bit watery for pies, and has a very plain, mild taste. The texture can also be stringy.
There are better pie pumpkins out there.
History Notes
Connecticut Field Pumpkins were known from the early 1800s.
