Smaller Hubbard-type winter squash with sweet, dry flesh; needs a full PNW summer in a warm, sunny spot to mature and store well.

Packs of 3 or 15 seeds

From Territorial Seed Company: Cucurbita maxima 110 days. A true Northwest heirloom, developed by the old Gill Brothers Seed Company in Portland, OR. A cross between Sweet Meat and Blue Hubbard, it combines many of the best qualities of both. The skin is a blue-gray, and the flesh is golden and more moist than Sweet Meat. A great keeper, storing up to 1 year. Vigorous 10 foot vines produce 4–5 squash, each weighing 15–20 pounds.
