It makes beautiful large (sometimes very large) fruit, often with a slightly crooked shape. It is one of the larger hubbards, with beautiful yellow-orange skin. The skin helps it keep for a long time, starting out yellow and then turning golden orange after midsummer. Vigorous vines and very productive, even in cooler parts of the country.
All squash need warmth to germinate, around 25C. Sow April/May in small to medium sized pots and keep warm until germination. Grow on under cover until 3 true leaves have formed and plant out about 4-5' ft apart. These are very heavy feeders and need fertile, well manured soil to do best. Dig in a large bucket of well rotted manure/compost under each plant and water well in dry periods. Stressed plants (too close together or soil not fertile enough) will produce only male flowers or none at all.
