Item Details

This flavorful acorn squash may be among the first to show up on your table each fall. The fruits of this historic variety produce flesh that is pale orange, moderately sweet in flavor, and a bit variable in shape. Its vining plants are quite productive and yield relatively early-maturing fruits that measure 4-5" long and 3½ -4" wide, and weigh 1-1 ½ pounds. Gill Brothers introduced the variety in 1952.

Perfect size, early, delicious and productive.

I never write reviews, but seeing this had none, I felt I had too. These little squash are great. They're the perfect size as a side dish for two people, sweet and delicious. The vines are fairly sprawling, but produced eight squash very early, while many other varieties struggled this year. They're variable in shape, but not by much. Best of all they're still good to eat mid January, which is good for an acorn variety.
