Pumpkin ‘Galeux d Eysines’
Cucurbita maxima
The Galeux d’Eysines pumpkin is a guaranteed conversation starter with its distinctive blistered skin. This unique heirloom variety has a flattened-globe shape and salmon-pink skin that becomes more blistered with time on the vine. However, it’s best to harvest at maturity to avoid cracking. Weighing in at an average of 15 lbs, this pumpkin is both ornamental and flavorful, making it an excellent addition to soups and stews.
