A
rarely seen winter squash variety in the UK, this is an impressive and
reliable producer of huge fruits even in poor UK summers.
The vines have the potential to grow to 20ft in any direction,
but are easily contained by turning them back to centre.
Large, pink banana-shaped fruit are produced in abundance and
average 15-20lb but can easily grow to 50-60lb (4ft long) during good
summers with care. The
fruits are fine flavored, dry with sweet orange flesh and store well in
a cool frost free location. |
