Donated to us several years ago by Mihipeka, a part of our dedicated despatch team and Diggers member, this kumi kumi seed has its roots strongly in NZ culture. A New Zealand heirloom, also known as kamo kamo, the fruit can be eaten in summer like a squash, left and stored for winter where the skin becomes tough, really tough actually, and the flesh can be enjoyed like a mild pumpkin, or alternatively, if left to dry completely, the kumi kumi makes a lovely decoration or natural bowl. Stunning in colour and mild in flavour, we are pleased to offer this wonderful heirloom, shared by our family to yours, from both here and across the ditch.

Eva ★★★★★

Planted these in late autumn and the germination rate was impressive—almost every seed sprouted. They're thriving even in my less-than-ideal soil.

Henry J. ★★★★★

Sown these in early spring and they've already sprouted with a vigor that feels almost greedy for a heirloom variety. The cultural history behind this seed adds a nice layer to the whole gardening experience.

George D. ★★★★★

Finally got these in the ground and they’re already showing strong little shoots. It’s nice knowing I’m planting a piece of New Zealand heritage in my own garden.
