Cucurbita maxima 'Sweet Dumpling' is a small winter squash producing attractive cream-white fruits with dark green stripes and sweet, orange flesh with a delicious nutty flavour. The compact, individual-sized fruits are ideal for roasting, baking and stuffing, while their unusual appearance also makes them attractive for autumn displays.

● Sweet orange flesh with a delicious nutty flavour
● Attractive cream-white fruits with dark green stripes
● Perfect individual size for stuffing and roasting
● Good storage ability after harvest
● Productive variety producing multiple fruits per plant
● Kitchen gardens
● Allotments
● Autumn displays

● Growing unusual heritage-style vegetables
● Sow seeds on their side to reduce the risk of water sitting against the seed and causing rot during germination.
● Start plants in individual pots if sowing indoors, as squash seedlings dislike root disturbance once established.
● Allow fruits to mature fully before harvesting; the skin should become firm and the stalk should begin to dry.
● Cure harvested fruits in a warm, dry place for improved flavour and longer storage life.
● Support developing fruits on straw, boards or similar material to keep them clean and reduce contact with wet soil.
