Renowned as the standard for sizable butternuts, this particular variety boasts larger fruits with compact seed cavities and sturdy, straight, cylindrical necks. The flesh of these butternuts is delightfully smooth in texture and offers a sweet flavor, which becomes even more pronounced after a two-month storage period. Originating from Massachusetts, this All-America Selections winner from 1970 continues to be widely cultivated and highly regarded as a full-size open-pollinated butternut variety. On average, the fruits measure around 9 inches in length and weigh between 4 to 5 pounds.
