Cucurbita maxima
Lot# SQ34130
A strong, growing winter squash with Japanese origins. Loads of bright, orange-red, 2-5 lb fruits on long vines. These squashes are great for winter storage and last well into spring if they don’t get eaten first! Its orange flesh is very dry and has a unique, nutty flavour which makes Red Kuri well worth growing.

Additional Information
You will not need to grow many of these plants as they are quite prolific producers unless you have lots of friends and family that enjoy Early White Scallop Squash. The bush habit is rather closed and can make harvesting a bit of a challenge. Sow squash in the garden as early as 2 weeks after the last average frost date in spring. To get a head start on the season sow squash indoors about 3 weeks before you transplant it into the garden. Sow succession crops every 2 to 4 weeks to extend the harvest and to protect against crops loss to insects or disease. Time all plantings so that squash comes to harvest before the first frost in fall. |
