Hokkaido Stella Blue Winter Squash

(Cucurbita Maxima) Prefered squash of Japan, this is a particularly high yielding cultivar. A moister texture than other Hokkaido and Kabocha squash, it is slightly drier and flakier than Buttercup. Slightly flattened, bluish-gray 2-5 lb. fruits are very uniform with consistently high eating quality and a delicious nutty, sweet flavor. Excellent keeper.
