While they are primarily marketed as an ornamental variety for fall displays, they are technically a vegetable. However, they are specifically bred for their striking warted texture and color transition rather than culinary flavor.

You can expect a harvest approximately 110 days after planting. It is important to plan your sowing date accordingly to ensure the fruit matures in time for your autumn displays.
