Cinderella pumpkins, also known as Rouge vif d’Etampes, are a popular variety of pumpkin that can produce a significant number of pumpkins per plant. These pumpkins are known for their vibrant red-orange color and their unique shape, resembling the pumpkin carriage from the fairy tale Cinderella.
On average, each Cinderella pumpkin plant can produce up to 5-6 pumpkins per vine. The vines of these plants can grow up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length, providing ample space for the pumpkins to develop and grow. This means that a single plant can potentially yield a total of 15-36 pumpkins, depending on how well the plant is cared for and the growing conditions.
The size of the pumpkins can vary, with some reaching as large as 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) in diameter. These pumpkins can weigh anywhere from 11-16 kg (25-35 lb), making them quite substantial in size and weight. Their impressive size and unique appearance make them a popular choice for fall decorations and carving.
When growing Cinderella pumpkins, it is important to provide them with adequate space and support. The trailing vines need room to spread out, so planting them in an area with plenty of open ground or using trellises or stakes can help support the weight of the growing pumpkins. Regular watering, fertilization, and pest control measures are also important to ensure healthy plant growth and a bountiful harvest.
In my personal experience, I have grown Cinderella pumpkins in my garden and have been amazed by the number of pumpkins each plant can produce. The vines spread out and intertwine, creating a beautiful display of bright orange pumpkins. It is truly a sight to behold. Harvesting the pumpkins and seeing their vibrant color and unique shape is always a rewarding experience.

These pumpkins can grow to be as large as 30-40 cm in diameter and weigh between 11-16 kg. Their striking appearance and high yield make them a popular choice for gardeners and fall enthusiasts.
