Dill’s Atlantic

Dill's Atlantic Giant was developed by Canadian grower Howard Dill from giant pumpkin lines and became the foundation of modern giant pumpkin competition. It is listed as a recommended giant pumpkin variety for Georgia gardens. It is grown primarily for size and exhibition rather than ordinary culinary quality, with fruit reaching 400 to 500 pounds and a golden-orange color. It suits giant pumpkin projects, youth and educational gardens, exhibition growing, and gardeners prepared for intensive management.
