The Griffin pumpkin is a distinctive variety prized for its tall, upright shape, making it an excellent choice for autumn displays and jack-o’-lanterns. These impressive pumpkins typically weigh between 14 and 40 pounds and can grow 15 to 18 inches tall. They feature a smooth, glossy deep orange rind with medium ribbing and a thick, dark green stem that can extend 9 to 11 inches long. With its unique vertical appearance, the Griffin pumpkin adds striking height and visual interest to fall decorations while also being well-suited for carving.
