This squash is an heirloom variety that produces large yields of smooth, tan-skinned fruits about 8-11 inches long.  The flesh is a deep orange color with a very small seed cavity on the bulb end.  It holds its color well when cooked and has a sweet, nutty flavor.  Very productive and reliable.  Butternut is a typical variety of squash for soups or just as a side dish.

1 oz. packet contains approx. 285 seeds

Approx. 90-100 days to maturity.
