Great winter preserver! Grows up to 48 “long and up to 70lbs in weight! When picked when under 30 days old, it is not stringy and is suitable for both baking and canning. At maturity, the fragile, thin skin turns pink-orange. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of them growing in Peru for ages. In 1893, R. H. Shumway sold the first variety of banana squash in his seed catalogue, introducing it to Americans. It quickly gained popularity and spread to many 19th centuryAmerican gardens.

ID: 50465 | Planting Tip: Move outside in late May, early June, when soil reaches 25°C. Harvesting Tip: Mature fruit has a rich color & rinds are hard to dent with a fingernail. The ground spot gets riper in color too (yellow to cream, gold to orange). Cut 2” stem to avoid rot from the stem. Must cure in dry and warm place. Storage Tip: Store at 10-12°C w/ 55-75% humidity & good air flow. |
