Winter Squash, Blue Kuri

New for 2012 C. maxima. 90 days. Japanese Kabocha type, blue-grey squash with a flattened globe shape. Very sweet flavor with the characteristic dry flesh of a Kabocha or Hokkaido. If stored for a few months it will become a little more moist. Great rich flavor, different than the Sweet Meat, which is the same species. Smaller fruit (2-3 lbs) are good size for market sales and as a single meal. They keep very well, much longer than Buttercups and other Kabochas. Our seed was originally sourced from Wim Brus, a seed grower for Bingenheimer Saatgut in Germany. He has spent many years selecting it for quality on his farm in the mountains outside Bologna, Italy.
