It was cultivated by the Seminoles in the Everglades region of Florida in the 1500s. The seeds were sowed at the base of girdled trees, so that the irrepressible vines, which grow in excess of 30', climbed the trunks, allowing the fruit to hang from the bare limbs. * Greek-speaking Seminole Indians gave it the name "chassa-howitska", meaning “hanging pumpkin.” midseason Jeannine Chalmers, Coquitlam, BC 12 / [[vendor::West Coast Seeds|'' '']] [[West Coast Seeds]] 08 C. moschata small heirloom 2015 2015-07-10T23:20:56Z 2457214.4728704 Seminole
