At first we didn't think this plant was going to set squash, but then boom, it did, although we still only got about 7 squash. Very rich butternut squash taste.

This squash is amazing! It is a garden gorrilla, I have had to redirect vines to keep them in check... the vines root themselves with powerful root systems all along the path of which they grow. While the other varieties of winter and summer squash battled squash bugs the greek red butternut seemed to repell them... Talk about productive!!! Big, beautiful green squash mature with nice gold skin. Everyday when I enter the garden new squash are discovered growing on the vines. They grow at astonishing rates reaching full size in 3-4 days, couple weeks to mature...
I can only imagine what this squash would do in top notch soil... please join me in growing this rare and in danger variety... I am saving pure seed for sharing with friends and myself...
This is without a doubt, the most satisfying squash I have enjoyed to grow...
Happy Growing...

The long-necked, reddish-tan fruit are filled with sweet, deep-orange flesh that's richly flavored. Attractive, large vines are highly productive. It was very resistant to squash beetles, too! This variety is super rare and I believe we are the only source.
