Didn’t think you could grow butternut squash? Think again! This excellent flavored butternut type squash is perfect for space-constrained gardeners because vines are dwarf. Early r ipening makes them a great choice for northern gardeners with a short growing season. Butterbush squash are shaped like standard Butternut, but their overall size is smaller. Seed cavity is small like Butternut, so there is more flesh per squash than other types. Flavor is excellent: sweet and nutty. Compact plant vines are 3-6 feet long and produce 3-5 squash per plant. Plants are vigorous, high-yielding and have intermediate resistance to Powdery Mildew. Seeds are easily started outdoors. These squash are good for long term storage. Bred by the W. Atlee Burpee Company in 1978 (aka “Burpee’s Butterbush”). There is some natural variation of squash shape in this older variety. 87 days to maturity. Show more
