Home > Squash - Winter > Triamble or Shamrock

SQUASH & PUMPKINS 20-35 seeds per packet. Grow winter squash in very rich soil, amended with manure, compost, or other rich source of plant nutrients. Plant in rows, 5-8 feet in both directions, sowing one seed every 6-12 inches. Or plant in hills, 5 seeds per hill, with the hills 6-8 feet apart, thinning to best three plants. Full sun, ample moisture and insect control as necessary should allow good production from the vigorous plants. Harvest in autumn when skins are too tough to be easily punctured with a thumbnail.

Triamble or Shamrock Squash - Winter seeds

Triamble or Shamrock
(C. maxima) A very rare and unique variety that was imported from Australia in 1932, from seed secured from Arthur Yates and Co. of Sydney. This light-sea-green squash is lobed like a three leaf clover, making it highly unusual in apperance. They weigh about 10 lbs each and have sweet orange, fine-grained flesh. A fine variety for eating and decorating!
