Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Orange Smoothie info please

17 years ago

I am looking for information on Orange Smoothie. I know it's said to produce 5-8 pound pumpkins on semi-determinate vines. An AAS winner. Could you please tell me how long the vines get, and how much space it needs? Would it be good for pies? How many pumpkins does a plant yield? Pictures would be very helpful too. Thanks.

According to various sources, the vines are "semi-determinate," meaning that they vine, but the vines aren't that long. Nichol's garden nursery says 3-4 fruit per plant. In a Purdue University Test in Northern Illinois, the average fruit weight was just under 5 lbs.
