    Tahitian Melon Squash - Live Plant

    $4.00
    DESCRIPTION

    This near-legendary butternut-type was one of the first rediscovered heirlooms that fueled the early heirloom movement. Fruit is large, to 40 lbs or more, though 12-20 pounds is more common. The orange flesh is richly fragrant, very sweet and delicious--so sweet the juice caramelizes when baked--one of the sweetest squash anywhere! Fine for use in pies, soups or desserts, and keeps for up to nine months. Has been known to produce as much as 100 pounds of squash per plant. The plants are rugged and huge. They grow over a wide range of conditions, even in the scorching-hot summers of the Southwest.

    Annual. 4 inch pot. Grown by Little Tree Homestead & Nursery.

    This is a Live Plant. At this time, we are unable to ship live plants, and are for local pick up from St. Pete, Florida only.
