Acorn Squash
Waltham Butternut Winter Squash
Waltham Butternut is a classic heirloom variety that produces large, oblong fruits, roughly 10 to 12 inches in length. The outer skin is creamy yellow, and the inner flesh is a golden yellow/orange. Each fruit typically weighs between 4 and 6 pounds.
Flavor
The inner flesh of Waltham Butternut is exceptionally sweet and stringless, making it ideal for baking. It's perfect for mixing with butter and brown sugar for a delicious dip.
Growth
The plants grow to a mature height of 1 to 2 feet and can span up to 6 feet across. While they require a lot of space, they can be grown vertically to save room.
Harvest
Place straw under the fruits to prevent rotting. Your Waltham Butternut Squash will be ready in about 95 days, when the skin becomes hard and has a creamy yellow tint.
