Waltham Butternut Squash

Cururbita Moschata

This winter squash produced ochre coloured fruit swollen at one end. The flesh is apricot coloured and has a fine and not too sweet flavour. May fruit outside in a good year but more reliable under cover. Keeps well. It was bred by the Massachusetts Ag. Extension Service in the 1960's by crossing 'New Hampshire Butternut' with a wild African squash.

Average 15 seeds/packet.
