Triamble is an Australian heritage pumpkin\u00a0or winter squash from the early years of settlement. It has a very distinct 3 lobed shape. It has \u00a0a very twisted internal shape but slices up and roasts well with a nice distinct flavour similar to a Queensland Blue pumpkin. The skin is very hard and smooth and the flesh tends to retain a lot of moisture and keeps well for along time. It’s flavour is definitely improved with ageing and it has a very\u00a0long keeping period. I am only cutting last seasons crop up now in late winter\/early spring and they will likely last for another two – three months yet and still improve.<\/p>\n

The vines are very long and take quite a while before they flower and fruit. The usual assumption I make is about 2-3 good sized fruits per vine by winter time if you have a short growing season or plant them say mid summer. (thats about 2.5kg each)<\/p>\n

They take some time to develop fully but if you give them a full growing season you will get a lot of fruit developing on the vines. Likely up to about 15Kg+ per vine which would be about 5 larger sized fruit.<\/p>\n

They love manure and a good supply of water in the ground. I grow them so the vines climb along on wire fences about 1 metre off the ground and they love the sun and are pretty tough once they get going.<\/p>\n

It is a very attractive and unusual looking and tasty ‘classic Australian’ pumpkin that was very hard to find a decade ago and has returned to favour recently and seed is now a bit easier to obtain.<\/p>\n

I believe it’s an offshoot of the Queensland Blue group and so most likely Curcubita maxima<\/p>\n
