Pumpkin Trees

Some time ago ago we trained a young pumpkin vine over two small trees in our back yard and ended up with these "pumpkin trees"

Thanks! Good luck growing your pumpkin tree. I'd love to see pictures of how it turns out :)

It'll be a few months, but I'll definitely post pictures.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Do the pumpkins not get too heavy and fall off or break parts of the vine/tree?

That's the amazing thing- we were expecting the pumpkins to fall off eventually but they didn't. The stems were very strong and we had to cut the pumpkins off to harvest them.
