Japanese Black Futsu Pumpkin Seeds grow into a ribbed, lumpy-skinned squash variety with dense orange-red flesh. This hybrid produces 2 to 5 fruits per plant within a 30 to 110-day cycle. Each 5-piece pack supports high-yield cultivation on rooftops or in ground soil.
Key Features
- Nutty Sweet Profile: Orange-red flesh contains high sugar content and nutty notes. Curing the harvested fruit concentrates these natural flavors.
- Upright Growth Habit: Compact vines occupy minimal horizontal space on rooftops. This structure supports high-density planting in urban BD gardens.
- 12-Month Storage Life: Thick lumpy skin creates a barrier against environmental moisture. Properly cured pumpkins remain edible for 365 days.
- Thermal Requirements: Germination occurs between 25-35°C in soil with 5.8-6.8 pH. High heat during the initial phase prevents seed rot.
- Productive Harvest: Each plant generates 2 to 5 fruits weighing 1.4-4 kg. Total yield provides substantial food volume from a small area.
