Howdy all,
Bought seeds to this pumpkin. The seller calls it a Philippine pumpkin. Dad (from there) says he never saw one like that. Any ideas?

Apparently it can grow on a trellis? Anyway, looking forward to growing a few this year :)

The Tagalog word for a squash or pumpkin is kalabasa, but when I google that word, I get lots of recipes but no photos. It's supposed to be similar to the Japanese kabocha squashes. Sure looks like the ones on the linked page.

Here is a link that might be useful: Japanese Squashes

Here is a list of Philippine Herbs, but no pictures.

It is also spelled Calabasa.
