C. maxima. Stunning winter squash! Oblate (flattened) and moderately ribbed with striking olive and salmon-mottled skin. Smooth rind is mildly corky with few warts. Some variation in size or mature fruits. Fruit measure 6.6-7.6" long, 9.1-12.1" wide, and weigh 8.5-18lbs. Flesh averages 2" thick, roasts to a lovely golden color, and is quite tasty! Sweet with a smooth texture. Excellent storage quality. Moderate productivity when grown in 2023 at Heritage Farm. SSE Accession # 119864
