description for "Winter Squash and Pumpkins: Cucurbita pepo 'Cream of the Crop'"
Limited gardening space won't impact 'Cream of the Crop' squash. This variety grows on bush type plants and produces creamy white, deeply ribbed fruit with matching white colored flesh. Enjoy its distinct, nutty taste either baked or fried. At full maturity, these fruit can reach up to three pounds. This variety replaces "Swan White" acorn squash. Maturity in 75-85 days.
