Tahitian Butternut Squash Seeds

2 review(s) | Add your review

110 days. Cucurbita moschata. Open Pollinated. Tahitian Butternut Squash. The plant produces good yields of large 20 to 40 lb butternut squash that has a long neck. The squash has golden orange flesh that gets sweeter during storage. It is delicious raw or baked, ideal for making pies and soups. The plant grows 20 to 30 ft vines and yields 7 to 9 squash each. You could almost have enough squash to last a whole family all winter with just one or two plants, plus it stores well, for an incredible 9 to 10 months. An excellent choice for home gardens and specialty market growers. A 1960s heirloom squash from the island of Tahiti. A winter squash variety.

Winter Squash Planting Information:

Winter Squash need warm weather to grow. It is best to plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant your seeds after the soil has warmed up. Thin so there are 4 plants per hill. 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.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile, slightly acid soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Add well-composted manure.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Protect ripening winter squash from damp ground by placing them on boards. Cut winter squash carefully from the plants to prevent damaging the vines.

I wasn't sure if I would get anything because I planted this huge plant in a 3ftX6ft garden box. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I receive 12 very nice size squash. I harvested in May and I'm now using my last squash in October and it's in excellent condition. It stores very nicely. It produced completely before being taken out by squash vine bores.

I planted this squash in spring in central FL along with 4 other pumpkin types. All are gone except the Tahitian. From 2 hills I harvested 12. There are still fruits forming with a frost coming this week. It is delicious raw, in salads, baked, boiled, mashed, in stews, no way it isn't good.
