Squash - Honeynut (Cucurbita moschata) Open Pollinated Climbing Buttercup Squash Vegetable

Annual

Height

Honey Nut Squash originates from Cornell University and is a fantastic cross of butternut and buttercup squash.

Adorable 4 to 5 in long mini butternut squash (1-1½ lbs) that grow on trailing vines - this the perfect crop to grow in smaller gardens! Honeynut's small size and low weight  allows it to be planted to trail up a fence or trellis and the fruit will not rip off the vine.

Skins are dark green then turn to tan and finally turn a rich burnt orange at maturity. Wonderful orange fruit with sweet flavor and bred for a resistance to powdery mildew. Very easy to cut in half and bake. Stores short lived, and must be consumed within two months.
