A 72-kilo pumpkin grown at the Puentespina farm wins an award

The Filipinos have embraced the modern American tradition of using pumpkins to set the mood for Halloween. Every year, along with skulls, spooky masks, and witches, the pumpkin takes center stage in the late October occasion.

While the decorations are available in many makeshift forms like plastic and paper, the option for using the real thing is also being made possible by Puentespina Orchids and Tropical Plants. The company’s farm in Davao grows pumpkins from seeds imported from the United States.  This variety, with thin wall meat, makes carving more convenient and Jack O’ Lanterns easier to create.  
And they grow to as huge as 72 kilos, big enough for a regular-sized adult to sit on!

Homes and businesses can be adorned with all shapes and sizes of this attractive natural trimming. Create conversation pieces from doorstep to tables by using pumpkins to enhance floral arrangements, as decorative vessels, and accents to centerpieces.   

Get into the spirit of the season and grab those pumpkins at leading supermarkets.
