Product Description

Vigorous vines produce high yields of uniform, sweet, nutty fruits with a premium flavor and texture. The 3-4 lb. fruits have large, long necks--so you get more flesh per fruit than other butternut varieties. They add wonderful color, flavor and nutrition to soups, pies and other recipes. Waltham Butternut Improved Winter Squash has a good flavor at harvest time--no curing necessary. This popular butternut variety produces enough for winter storage, too. 105-115 DAYS.
