Overview
Triamble, also called Triangle or Tristar of Shamrock, is an Australian heirloom known since at least the 1820s and unmistakable in shape: three joined lobes that curl back toward the stem like a clover leaf. The rind is slate blue-gray and so hard it earned the nickname Ironbark pumpkin, which makes cutting a chore but gives extraordinary keeping quality, with cured fruit reported to last a year or more. Fruit averages around 8 pounds with thick, sweet, dry, deep orange flesh similar to Queensland Blue. Sow an inch deep after frost in enriched soil and give the vines 6 to 8 feet. About 110 days.
