Family Cucurbitaceae

A popular winter squash variety known for its smooth, sweet, and tender dark orange flesh. It's ideal for soups, purees, or roasted dishes. Elongated in shape with a narrow neck and swollen base, it keeps well for several months. It thrives in warmth, space, and rich, well-drained soil to provide a generous harvest in late summer.
