    Lots of vine and a very pretty fruit, but not very productive under my conditions. Takes about 100 days from seeding. About 15 lbs under my conditions, but only one per vine. This is an old Austrian variety, which was used for the seed, primarily to press for oil, hence "oil seed" pumpkin. The seed is covered by a thin soft membrane, not the hard woody shell of most squash, hence "hulless". Ideal for roasted pumpkin seeds.
