Squash 'Moranga'

Moranga is a peachy-pink pumpkin with deep ribbing. It weighs 4 to 8 pounds and makes a cute decoration. It is not very productive, and the flesh is stringy, but it has a nice flavor that is good for pies and soups.

Moranga squash keeps for 3 to 4 months in storage. The vines are relatively short, making it a good choice for small gardens.

Heirloom from Brazil.
