This new botanical sensation is the result of pollinating a Cucurbita maxima `Kabocha� style with Cucumis melo inodorus `Tiger� in the year 2012.
Many growers say that it would never be a true seed when a pumpkin is pollinated by a melon, but here it works very well, and we got a lovely sweet fruit with seeds pretty like melon-seeds, but all offspring is Cucurbita maxima or pollinated by itself Cucurbita maximelo.
This picture shows the mother fruit of our new botanical species: orange mottled like the tiger melon but clearly a C. maxima fruit.
