Growing two of the same seed this year has provided a unique comparison. This plant was a back-up to my original plan, but due to its aggressive growth early on it made the final selection. The plant behavior is very similar to its sibling, but the pumpkin has a very different color. The shape is almost a perfect ball and the color at the moment is a faint creamy white. I really like how this pumpkin looks as it has the characteristics of a fruit that can go the distance. Time will tell if this ends up being the case.
