A giant pumpkin is an orange fruit of the squash Cucurbita maxima, commonly weighing from 68 kilograms (150 lb) to over 910 kilograms (2,010 lb).

Atlantic Giant Pumpkin is a famous heirloom variety bred for enormous size, originally developed by Howard Dill in Nova Scotia. With proper care, these pumpkins commonly reach 400–500 lb and can exceed 1,000 lb under expert growing conditions, making them the standard for giant pumpkin competitions worldwide. The fruits are large, round to slightly flattened with heavy ribbing and pale to medium-orange skin. While the flesh is edible, Atlantic Giant pumpkins are primarily grown for exhibition, fall displays, and record-breaking weigh-offs rather than flavor.

Lunga di Napoli Squash is a rare Italian heirloom famous for its impressive size and rich, sweet flavor. These long, curved fruits can grow 2–3 feet in length with deep green skin that ripens to a warm tan. Inside, the bright orange flesh is dense, smooth, and incredibly flavorful — perfect for roasting, soups, ravioli filling, and baking.

Vigorous vines produce heavy yields and store well after harvest. A standout variety for gardeners who love unique, old-world vegetables with gourmet taste and serious wow factor.
