Oz Pumpkins are round, with a very smooth rind that ripens from yellow to orange early. It doesn’t go through a green stage.
The pumpkin has very slight ribbing, and strong, dark-green handles.
They average 6 inches (15 cm) wide, and weigh 4 to 5 pounds (1.8 to 2 1/3 kg.) Inside, they have yellow flesh.
They are marketed as ornamentals. The smooth rind makes the pumpkin good for painting.
The plant is an F1 hybrid semi-bush type.
100 to 105 days from seed.
