"Honeynut" Winter Squash

Cucurbita moschata

This deliciously sweet and cute mini butternut squash is a cross between a butternut type (C. moschata) and kabocha type (C. Maxima) bred at Cornell University. Honeynut has the sweet and nutty flesh of its kabocha parentage combined with the excellent powdery mildew resistance and storage capability associated with butternuts. This is a long season variety so be sure to get an early start on planting. Fruits can be harvested a bit early if frost threatens before they are fully ripe. They continue to ripen and cure very well off of the vine. Enjoy the best of both squash worlds with this adorable autumnal delight!
