Squash is a very popular fruit vegetable in substropical Southern Asia. This hybrid variety produces medium-sized fruits in flat shape, which have rought textured dark green skin and bright yellow flesh inside. The dense flesh is very sweet and well flavored, excellent for soups. The plant grows vigorously in warm climates and is very productive. Fruits are 2-3 Kgs. in size and can be ready for harvest in 85-90 days.
