I have been seeing more and more of these, the pumpkins that are completely green, except for a very tiny streak of orange. Why is this happening? I was just curious. Thanks

I make pretty orange pumpkins dark green to blackish green with viral infection from Salix sachalinensis `Sekka´.
Vines are broader (multiplied).
Fruits grow longer then and 15 to 25% larger.
As I told it two years ago, nobody believed it in this forum.
Meanwhile some grower have seen or done it.
This fruits normally become only little orange in afterripening and are far longer storable.
But I think you meant other green fruits.

Sometimes, when held back from light, parts turn green. Covering fruit is standard now, so we see a fair bit of that type. The white ones seem to do it the most noticeably for me. I had one that was nice and orange do it to all the light spots on a fruit I grew this year.
