Cucurbita maxima. 110 days. Open-pollinated.

 

Pink Banana is an open-pollinated, heirloom variety squash that was once an important source of sustenance for ancient Peruvians and American pioneers.


Long vines produce smooth, velvety-skinned fruits that can grow up to 48 inches long and 70 pounds in weight!


Excellent for canning and baking, and the flesh will not be stringy if the fruit is picked when less than 30 inches long.
