This high yielding plant produces fruits that weigh in at an average of 15-25 lbs. Attractive dark and light green thin rind with an oblong shape and white seeds at full maturity. Very resistant to wilt and insects; strong healthy vines.
Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.
This variety has a history of being passed down within a family or community, similar to the generational sharing of certain items like jewelry or furniture.
