Aspen is a tall, slender pumpkin variety weighing between 9 – 11 kg (19 – 24 lbs) with a vibrant red-orange exterior and a durable dark green stem. It features denser flesh than traditional Howden types, resulting in longer shelf life due to slower decay. Growing on a semi-bush plant, Aspen is adaptable and well-suited to maximise yields of high-quality Jack O’lantern pumpkins.
