For 6 years, this squash was worked on, crossing the flavorful, savory butternut with the sweet buttercup, to create this more manageable, 4–5 butternut. The thin, edible skin signals ripeness by turning from green to terracotta, either on or off the plant. Compact vines are great for containers or trellises. Plants are resistant to powdery mildew and squash vine borers. Stores up to 6 months
