| This tan flattened "cheese wheel" of a pumpkin has tasty orange flesh that is excellent for soups and pies. Not a heavy producer for me. They store well also. |

| I haven't actually eaten one of these yet, so I'll rate taste later. I have really struggled with Squash bugs on this variety. However, the plant seems more resilient than other pumpkins and did set about five fruit per plant. The fruit is a beautiful beigy orange color that is very attractive in it's flattened and lobed form. Worth growing just as an ornamental. |
