Cucurbita moschata
Lot# SQ34150
A popular 19th century variety that is also called the “Neck Pumpkin” because of its long, flesh-filled neck. A great winter storage squash that can weigh as much as 9 kg (20lbs). The flesh is a deep orange, thick, and sweet. It is richly flavored, making it a great cooking squash for slicing and baking. It resembles a giant butternut squash (also from the Cucurbita moschata species) with a very long neck. It is a popular variety of squash with the Amish, used for deserts and pies; a very easy-to-cook variety.

Additional Information
Harvested when the rind cannot be dented with your thumbnail. Complete the harvest before the first hard frost. Stems and vines will be hard and dry at harvest time. It is often easy enough to snap the fruit from the vine but try and leave 5-7 cm (2-3”) of the stem on the fruit to help preserve moisture. |
