Squash 'Moranga'

Moranga squash is a peachy-pink pumpkin with deep ribbing. The small fruits weigh 4-8 pounds. It makes a cute table decoration. It's 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 3-4 months in storage. The vines are relatively short, making it a good choice for small gardens.

Heirloom from Brazil.
