The standard butternut for good reason: uniform four-to-five pound fruits, thick necks of solid flesh, and a small seed cavity down at the bulb. Cures to a hard tan shell and stores six months in a cool dry room. The vines run long and will scramble up a fence if you would rather not give them the ground. Sweetness improves several weeks after harvest, so resist cutting into the first one.
Where it comes from. Bred at the Waltham Field Station in Massachusetts, released 1970.
