Cucurbita maxima

Crown Prince, also known as Whangaparāoa Crown, is a prized New Zealand heirloom originating from Whangaparāoa Bay. It produces attractive medium to large fruits with hard blue-grey skin, a small seed cavity and dense, deep orange flesh. The flesh is dry, exceptionally sweet and rich in flavour, making it ideal for roasting, soups and baking. An outstanding keeper, Crown Prince stores for many months after harvest while its flavour continues to develop.

Planting / Sowing

Sow seed 20–30 mm deep into well-drained, fertile soil in full sun after the danger of frost has passed. Plant in mounds or rows, spacing plants 1–1.5 m apart with 2–3 m between rows. Keep well watered during flowering and fruit development, and harvest once the rind has hardened and the stem begins to dry. Cure fruit in a warm, airy place for 10–14 days before storing to maximise keeping quality.
