Pumpkin 'Jap'
A much-loved Australian classic, Pumpkin Jap (also called Kent) is prized for its rich, sweet orange flesh and reliable cropping. Its mottled green and gold skin encloses smooth, nutty-flavoured flesh that roasts, bakes and soups beautifully. A vigorous and productive variety, it stores well after harvest, ensuring months of delicious meals from just a few fruits. Perfect for home gardeners wanting a dependable, flavoursome pumpkin that thrives in Australian conditions.
Sow seed direct in mounds of rich, well-drained soil once the soil warms in spring, spacing 1m apart. Keep well-watered during growth and mulch to conserve moisture. Train vines across bare ground or supports to save space. Harvest when skins harden and the stalk dries off. Store in a cool, dry place for months of use.
