Bon Bon

Description

Cucurbita maxim

‘Bon Bon’ winter squash produces reasonable yields of dark, olive green fruit decorated with lighter grey stripes. They are slightly flattened and have a ‘button’ or ‘cup’ at the bottom end. The fruit are good-sized, with the largest ones measuring about 17cm in diameter and weighing approximately 1.9 kg. The thick, orange flesh has a sweet, honey-like taste, and is delicious when roasted like potatoes; used to thicken sauces and gravies; and made into pies and tarts. 

Because the trailing vines can grow up to 5 metres long, the plants need plenty of space to grow.
