Waltham Butternut
C. moschata - This 1970 AAS winner from Waltham, Massachusetts is by far the most widely-grown butternut variety. Forms uniform, 4-5 lb fruits with smooth, tan skin that is easily peeled with a potato peeler. Flesh is finely textured and dark orange. Our HMS strain has been hand selected by our growers and our farm for uniformity of size and shape, disease resistance, and yields. If cured well and stored properly Waltham will keep well into the winter. Great rich butternut flavor!
