The Allure of Long Stem Pumpkins
“Stand Tall This Fall: Long Stem Pumpkins for Stunning Decor and Carving Fun”
Elegant pumpkins that bring height, charm, and creativity to your autumn displays.
Get Yours Now!What makes long stem pumpkins so special is their classic look and strong real stems, which remain firmly attached to the main stem during harvest time.
At Bay Baby Produce, we take great care to grow our pumpkins under ideal conditions, focusing on good air circulation, rich soil, and proper pest management.
We start by testing soil samples to ensure the land is ready for planting. The pumpkin plants are given ample square feet to spread out and thrive. We use row cover techniques early in the growing season to protect against pests like cucumber beetles and vine borers, both common threats to pumpkin crops. These preventive steps, along with careful watering—since pumpkins require a lot of water—help us cultivate strong vines that support healthy, long-stemmed fruit. Our long stem pumpkins are part of the same farm-fresh quality you can expect from all of our seasonal offerings. You can find our pumpkins in grocery stores and retailers across the United States.

From the Field to Fall Displays
As the harvest time arrives in late August, the transformation in the fields is nothing short of magical. The female flowers give way to firm, beautifully shaped pumpkins with impressive real pumpkin stems. We allow them to cure in a dry location, which helps strengthen the stems and deepen the pumpkin color.
Each pumpkin is then carefully handled to preserve the whole pumpkin and its long stem, since damage can lead to issues like bacterial wilt or surface blemishes. That attention to detail ensures that when our pumpkins reach your local grocery store, they’re in perfect condition for decorating, carving, or gifting.
Creative Uses for Long Stem Pumpkins
Long stem pumpkins are not just beautiful, they’re versatile too. They pair wonderfully with white pumpkins, tiny pumpkins, and even velvet pumpkins for elegant table settings or fall floral centerpieces. Try arranging them in groups on your porch or mantle using yard rolls of burlap and dried leaves for texture to create an eye-catching focal point.
If you’re into crafting, dried real stems or dried pumpkin stem pieces are perfect for DIY handmade pumpkins made of fabric or felt. Some crafters also use faux pumpkin stem alternatives, attaching them with hot glue or wooden dowels to create lasting home décor. Just remember to wear gloves when handling soft pumpkins or using adhesives for safety and comfort.

At Bay Baby Produce, we’ve spent the last year refining our growing techniques to ensure every pumpkin we produce meets the highest quality standards. While giant pumpkins, monster pumpkin types, and giant pumpkin plants are well known for their impressive size, we focus on cultivating classic varieties that thrive with the same careful attention to detail.
Our experience shows that important factors such as good air circulation, balanced watering, and clean crop residue management help develop stronger vines and resilient fruit. Even smaller pumpkin varieties benefit from these practices, resulting in healthy pumpkins with beautiful long stems and rich color.
With consistent care and proper protection against powdery mildew, our pumpkins grow beautifully from a native plant lineage that thrives in the Pacific Northwest’s ideal climate. You can find our pumpkins in grocery stores and local markets across the United States. To see where Bay Baby Produce pumpkins are available near you, visit our Where to Find Us page.
