Dense, sweet and full flavoured, it is an excellent eating pumpkin with particularly good qualities for baking and roasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruits can reach approximately 7 kg and contain firm flesh that develops a rich sweetness when cooked. It is excellent roasted, baked or mashed and works beautifully in soups, curries, pies and other pumpkin dishes. The dense texture also makes it useful where a pumpkin that holds its shape during cooking is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an Australian heirloom, Australian Butter forms part of the diverse collection of pumpkin varieties selected and maintained by generations of growers for local conditions, flavour and usefulness in the kitchen. Its combination of eating quality, generous fruit size and good keeping ability makes it a particularly worthwhile variety for the home garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mature fruits store well when properly cured, allowing the harvest to be enjoyed long after the vines have finished producing. Leave pumpkins on the vine until the skin has hardened and the stems begin to dry for the best storage potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years. \u003cem\u003eCucurbita maxima\u003c\/em\u003e includes an extraordinary range of forms, from compact culinary pumpkins to some of the largest fruits in the vegetable world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 10 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: During the warm season, avoiding the wettest periods where disease pressure is high\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Spring to summer\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring to early summer after frost\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring after all danger of frost; start indoors where the growing season is short\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly into warm, prepared soil after all danger of frost has passed, or raise seedlings for transplanting once conditions are reliably warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in rich, fertile, well-drained soil.
