I thank you so much!
´cause I still could not manage to post a picture.
My little son was able to distinguish between moschata and maxima and even pepo stems in his first season.
And he sees it on the leaf´s vein branches the whole season, what a moschata is.
Didn´t you see the juice in the cross section of Acorneti, as I posted it?
Also very juicy is our crossbreeding for a faster ripening of C. moschata the Kentucky Butter, which is C. moschata Early Butternut x moschata Kentucky field.
You can´t get more cold tolerance for C. moschata, I think. I always need anti-hail cover or a hoop for them until the end of frost saints or a week longer.
But with C maxima I can play to make them very strong: turbaniformis group brings more frost resistance.
In 2012 I had Atlantic Giant (AG) and Turk´s Turban (TT) nearby without cover to test them over frost saints:
all AGs died but all TTs survived!
In 2013 we tested TT x AG and all of that Geza plants survived without cover, while some moschata and pepo died even in the hoop.
The juiciness of Acorneti and our Kentucky Butter are very important for making wine or feed the brewer´s yeast when beer is made. I don´t drink alcohol, but most people like such stuff, and I always think with the market´s needs.
La Estrella is less sweet in our nearly continental climate. This variety is created for Florida.
But I could try to crossbreed it interspecific with a C. maxima or even C. maximelo, dear samyaza?!
It would be funny anyway. Samyaza, you posted the picture of La Estrella seed and the mottled ball (mother of the real Acorneti) nearby, and this shall be the starting signal for our new tries:
C. maximelo `Acorneti´ x C. moschata `La Estrella´ and
C. maxima mottled ball x C. moschata `La Estrella´.
Who want´s to join this tries?
I´ll send all seeds for free.
