Challenger is a high-performing, large-fruited hybrid pumpkin. Maturing in around 100 days, it produces deep orange fruits with pronounced ribbing and a long, thick green handle. Plants have a reduced vine habit and display a high level of resistance to Powdery and Downy Mildew, ensuring excellent fruit quality even in challenging late-season conditions. Average yield is two sizeable pumpkins per plant, each weighing between 10 – 12 kg (22–27 lb).
