Cucurbita maxima
Lot# SQ34142
The Triamble or ‘Shamrock’ Squash (C. maxima) is an unusual open pollinated squash. It is a unique heirloom variety that originated from Australia in 1932. This light blue, sea-green squash is lobed like a three leaf clover. Each of the 3 lobes are home to 3 small seed cavities. Skin is hard and the sugary orange flesh is dense. Triamble squash can weigh between 3.6-5.4 kg (8-12) pounds each. An excellent storage squash as it holds its flavor and texture for several months is stored properly. It is one of our preferred squash types- but it is a tough one to cut open.

Additional Information
Before storing, cure the fruit. Curing is best accomplished by allowing them to remain in the sunshine for about ten days. It is the sunlight that cures or hardens the skin. If there is a chance of freezing weather, protect in a storage building and return to the sunlight the following day. If you cure the fruit and store them properly, they will last well into the winter. The storage area should be dark, about 10°C (50°F), and rather dry (less than 65% humidity). |
