A Major Development in Breeding - ‘Squashkin' - The New Butternut Squash / Crown Prince Pumpkin Cross Exclusive to Marshalls!
Overall winner in our last two years trial, Squashkin showed excellent results in all respects. With small commercial quantities now available we are delighted to offer it to our customers for 2009. This unique variety is a direct cross between Pumpkin Crown Prince and a Butternut Squash that has inherited the very best qualities from each.
- Bright orange flesh that is aromatic with a delicate melon scent
- Fine, very sweet flavours and excellent when roasted
- Similar shape to Crown Prince (but slightly smaller)
- Skin colour and texture of a classic Butternut Squash
- Excellent storing characteristics of both its parents
There's no doubt that Squashkin will become a major Marshalls success, both in the garden and the kitchen
