''long-neck pumpkins'' - new term for me, but --

10 years ago

I first read of "long-neck pumpkins" today. This is new terminology for me but a quick Google search found this in many places, even three times on GW. Is this old terminology and I have just missed it or is it some recent fad?

Usually refers to a variety/varieties like neck pumpkins, Tahitian melons. These are butternut types (C. moschata) with extra long necks. Very recently some vendors are including Cushaws (C. Mixta) many of which have crooknecks.
