I tried it this past year and was immpressed by its color, size, and most of all taste. One med. size one was enough for 12 pies. Makes very good pies fresh or baked and frozen plain. Will be planting it again as friends loved the taste and want more..

These aren't for the South Review by Constant_Gardner
Overall Rating
Being from up North and loving large winter squash, I tried these. Planted 6 plants, harvested 2 mature squash, 11 and 15 lbs. Lots of buds, some small fruit. The heat and borers got the best of them. I grew them in partial shade. Had to steam, puree & freeze them quickly - the stem area started to rot within weeks of harvest. Waiting until cool enough for pies and pumpkin bread. Don't try to grow c. maxima in the South - it is an unprofitable war; go for smaller borer resistant varieties..
