Product Description

3-5 lb. fruits
Stores well
Edible fruits can be used for fall decorations

Gorgeous, green turban-shaped fruits are striped with gray and have a very thick, firm, golden-yellow, smooth flesh. The dry, meaty flesh bakes up sweet and delicious with a buttery flavor—or use the squash for soups and pasta recipes. It's also good roasted, boiled and steamed. Buttercup Winter Squash is a vining type squash that bears manageable 3-5 lb. fruits that store for months. The fruits are so decorative, that many gardeners also use them in fall decorations. 105 DAYS.
