The fruits of the "Cheyenne Bush" are green at first, then turn golden orange when ripe. Smaller than traditional pumpkins, they have an elongated shape and a tender, sweet flesh, ideal for making purees, pies and various desserts. This variety grows best in well-drained soil and a sunny location, and harvesting can begin as soon as the part of the fruit in contact with the ground begins to change color. The fruits are ready to harvest approximately 80 to 90 days after sowing.
The Cheyenne Bush Pumpkin is perfect for home gardeners looking to add a productive, tasty, and small-space friendly plant. Its ease of growing and mild, sweet flavor make it an ideal choice for enriching urban gardens or backyards with fresh, delicious produce.
