Beung Carn is a prolific, attractive, good flavored cheese type pumpkin for this area. It is quite viney with individual vines reaching 20 feet. Fruits are quite uniform around 3 lbs. They have a pinkish tint shortly after harvest which is quite attractive. A C. moschata that is not bothered by the squash vine borer.
