Description

A renowned farm-to-table chef and a Cornell breeder worked for 6 years, 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. Days to Maturity: 110 days Family: Cucurbitaceae Type: Butternut Squash, Winter Squash Native: Northern Columbia Hardiness: Frost-sensitive annual Exposure: Full sun Plant Dimensions: 24"–36" vine Variety Info: 4"–5" fruits start out green with orange mottling, ripening to a pale terracotta. As a combination of butternut and buttercup types, 'Honeynut' is very sweet with very smooth-textured flesh. Attributes: Frost Sensitive Photos and plant information courtesy of botanicalinterests.com
