Winter Squash

2004 All-America Selections Winner! 95 days. Cucurbita maxima. (F1) Sunshine Squash. This compact plant produces good yields of 3 to 4 lb bright reddish orange squash with thin tan stripes. It is perhaps the best eating quality of any winter squash. It has sweet nutty flesh that is completely smooth and stringless. The creamy sweet flavor flesh is brought out well when the fruit is baked, steamed, or even microwaved. Excellent for baking, mashing, and making pies. A very attractive gourmet squash. The short vines need 6 to 8 feet in the full sun garden. This variety was developed from a cross between two different orange varieties. Always a great seller at Farmer’s Markets. An excellent choice for home gardens, farmer's markets, and market growers. A winter squash variety.

Eight to 10 plants will provide more than enough for a large family. You can trellis squash to save space. Plants grow 2 ft tall and vines spread up to 10 ft.
