This is one of the most popular of all winter squash there is, with a small seed cavity, chubby bowling pin shape and a sweet, nutty, mild flavour that produces 4 to 5 fruits per plant. This heavy producer grows fruits to 4-5 pounds and has great storage capabilities. Flavour will improve even more when stored for 2 months.
