Impressive Size and Strength

The Wolf Pumpkin stands out with 20–40 lb. fruit that features rich orange color and thick walls, ensuring durability and long-lasting beauty. The name “Wolf” refers to its rugged nature—strong vines, sturdy stems, and a commanding field presence.

Each pumpkin boasts a large, dark green handle that’s firmly attached, making them ideal for farm stands and retail displays where strong stems matter. Whether arranged in a fall festival display or offered at market, these pumpkins instantly draw attention thanks to their vibrant color and classic round shape.


Ideal for Market and Display Use

This hybrid is a market grower’s dream. With excellent uniformity, Wolf produces consistent fruit size and shape, ensuring a professional, high-quality harvest. The smooth rind and bright hue make it perfect for carving and decorating.

Wolf’s long shelf life also means less waste—fruit can remain in good condition for weeks after harvest. This makes it a top performer for farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and fall retail displays. Its thick skin helps it resist bruising and damage during transport, giving it an edge over standard field pumpkins.


Planting and Growing Wolf Pumpkin Seeds

Wolf is a dependable variety that performs well across multiple growing regions. It thrives in warm, sunny locations with fertile, well-drained soil.

Key Growing Details:

  • Germination Temperature: 70–85°F

  • Days to Germination: 7–10 days

  • Days to Maturity: 110–115 days

  • Plant Spacing: 3–4 feet apart

  • Row Spacing: 6–8 feet

  • Light: Full sun (8+ hours daily)

  • Soil pH: 6.0–6.8

For best results, direct-sow Wolf Pumpkin Seeds once soil temperatures reach at least 70°F and all danger of frost has passed. In cooler climates, seeds can be started in 50–72 cell trays 3 weeks before transplanting outdoors.


Field Management Tips

  1. Feed Regularly: Start with a balanced fertilizer, then side-dress with nitrogen during vine growth to promote strong stems and leaves.

  2. Pollination: Encourage bees and avoid spraying insecticides during bloom to ensure a high fruit set.

  3. Mulch for Weed Control: Keep soil temperatures stable and reduce weed competition.

  4. Water Deeply: Provide consistent watering—around 1"–1.5" per week—to ensure fruit develops evenly.

  5. Harvest Carefully: Use pruning shears to clip fruit, leaving 3–4 inches of stem attached for maximum storage and visual appeal.

Once harvested, cure pumpkins at 80–85°F for 10 days to enhance color and storage life. After curing, store in a cool, dry space (50–55°F) to preserve the deep orange color and firm texture for months.
