Description
(C. moschata)
Cultivated in Florida by the Native Americans since 1500’s. Stores for up to 1 year! Large vines grow fruits averaging 6″ in diameter. Fruits go from green to orange. Fruit is ready when vines start to brown and die. These are kind of like a cross between acorn and butternut squash, sweeter than butternut though. Disease resisitant, resistant to vine boarers and most other pests in our area. High tolerance to heat and humidity. Not picky about soil or conditions. All that makes this a MUST have in Florida gardens! Needs ample water and room to roam.
Plant out in North and Central Florida. March and July-August. February-March & September in Southern Florida.
