Title: Crown Prince
Post by: Diana on August 21, 2006, 16:20:06: Does anyone know - does Crown Prince only produce "blue" fruit?

Just trying to work out what fruit belongs wo which plant and I have some regular CP, but also something the same size and shape in a dark yellow.

Any ideas?

The best I can think of is Vif Rouge D'Etampes which is orange and ribbed, your classic Cinderella pumpkin, and in the books Kentucky Field/syn Cheesecake but I have never seen the seeds offered in this country.

Is it F1, or can the seeds be stored?
