Care instructions
(C. pepo) A most unique and unusual squash! Large, fluted, acorn-type fruits have ten finger-like ribs that come to points at the end of each squash. Cream colored. An excellent ornamental type for fall decoration and marketing. Introduced as 'Pineapple' in 1885 by James J.H. Gregory's Retail Catalogue, who said, "A peculiar, striking-looking variety... Very fine grained and smooth to the taste."
