(C. moschata) The famous "native" pumpkin of the Florida everglades where the Spanish found it growing wild there. It was a traditional food crop of the Native American tribes in Florida for good reason. It will root along the length of the stem giving it that ability to overcome pest and disease. Huge vigorous vine that can crawl 30 feet or more. Although it can be tempting to trellis it to save space that takes away its ability to root so make sure if you do trellis it to let it drape back down to the ground often. They are a sweet delicious flesh just like a butternut squash and also make great storage food and will keep fresh for 6+ months. These fruit tend to be smaller than the Tahitian Melon Squash but they typically produce more fruit so its a toss up.
