Kids love them.
This 1993 All-America Selections winner received high marks in official AAS trials across North America. Baby Bear is a unique size and shape, and is often called "the perfect mini pumpkin" by growers. Deep orange, 1 1/2-2 1/2-lb. fruits are about half the size of a normal pie pumpkin. With slender, sturdy, easy-to-grip handles, they are very appealing to children. One of Baby Bear's parents was New England Pie and the other was a small "naked" seed pumpkin, so in addition to its decorative use, the flesh is good for pies and the semi-hulless seeds are good for roasted snacks. High yield potential, avg. 8 pumpkins per vine. Superior storage quality.
