Crown Prince

One of the best tasting, most useful winter squashes there is.
Highly recommended.
Description
Cucurbita maxima
Hybrid. Produced on trailing plants, the grey-skinned fruit of this winter squash are large, measuring up to 20cm in diameter and weighing an average of 2.4kg. The bright orange, thick flesh is smooth-textured, dry and sweet, making this the gourmet’s choice for roasting, pureeing and baking into pies.
This is our favourite winter squash.
