  • Description
  • This running variety bears about 10 small sized squashes per plant.
    The fruit weighs about 300 to 800 gr. The exterior is a deeply ribbed, ivory white or cream marked by dark green strips, which makes it very decorative.
    The orange flesh is incredibly sweet and firm, with a delicious nut and chestnut flavour.
    It is perfect for roasting or in pastry.


    Type of soil: Rich and light. Fertiliser recommended.
    Sowing time: From April to June.
    Harvest time: From August to October.
    Site: Full sun.


    Sowing technique:
    - As early as April, sow 2 to 3 seeds in pods in a cold frame,
    or
    - In May/June, sow outdoor 2 to 3 seeds together 2 cm deep in rows 80 cm apart.


    Care:
    - Water generously in dry weather, and let the soil dry up between two watering.
    - Hoe frequently.
    - Spread mulch to encourage the crop.
    - Harvest constantly as soon as the first fruits ripen, so they do not overgrow and weaken the plant.
