A heritage squash that is an ancestor of the Butternut, its shape varies from straight to very curved. Its sweet taste is much more interesting than Butternut: it has its place in Slow Food’s Ark of Taste. It is excellent in soup or cubes once it has had the opportunity to age a little after harvest.
The plant takes some time to grow well compared to other squash, but is still productive. 100 days to maturity
| Instructions | Plant directly in the garden when there is no longer a risk of frost. Put 2-3 seeds per mound, spaced a few feet apart. Squash also needs a lot of space to spread. It is also possible to start seedlings 2 or 3 weeks in advance indoor, but transplantation is usually difficult. |
