Indigenous to New Zealand and held in high esteem as a staple Maori heirloom, this incredibly versatile dual-purpose squash is celebrated for its extraordinary productivity, unique ribbed aesthetic, and rich, buttery flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eKumi Kumi is a gardener’s dream because it offers two distinct harvests from a single plant. When harvested young (about the size of a cricket ball), its speckled green, heavily ribbed fruits are tender, succulent, and can be cooked just like a gourmet zucchini or summer squash—boiling, frying, or roasting with garlic and butter. If left to mature fully on the vine, the skin hardens into a deep forest-green shell splashed with warm golden-orange accents. Mature fruits develop a dense, sweet, nutty flesh that is divine for winter soups, baking, and roasting, and their thick outer rind gives them superior long-term storage qualities through the cold months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTwo Harvests in One:\u003c\/b\u003e Enjoy as a tender, succulent summer squash when young, or let it mature into a rich, sweet winter pumpkin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDistinctive \u0026amp; Beautiful:\u003c\/b\u003e Features heavy, pronounced deep ribs and a striking mottled green-and-gold speckled rind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUnbeatable Storage Life:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully matured fruits possess an exceptionally hard skin, keeping fresh for months in cool pantry storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVigorous \u0026amp; Productive:\u003c\/b\u003e Strong, sprawling vines produce an impressive abundance of fruit throughout the warm season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRich Culinary History:\u003c\/b\u003e A sacred, time-tested Maori heirloom prized for its deep, rich, nutty flavour and dense texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eGrowing Information (Australia):\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"17\"\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/i\u003e 'Kumi Kumi'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/b\u003e Vigorous trailing vine.

Leave a final batch of pumpkins on the vine in late summer to mature fully until the vines begin to die back and the stalks turn hard and woody. Cure mature pumpkins in a sunny, warm, dry spot for 7–10 days before storing them for winter use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10 seeds \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWE DO NOT SEND SEEDS TO W.A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gatherer Forager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53812910555409,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/4323\/7905\/files\/Pumpkin_Kumi_kumi_seeds.png?v=1784866481","url":"https:\/\/www.gathererforager.com\/products\/pumpkin-kumi-kumi-seeds","provider":"Gatherer Forager","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
