Navajo Banana Hubbard
Cucurbita maxima. A stunning variety! Very large football to banana shaped squashes with pale to bright orange skin and thick tasty orange flesh. Originally collected by NS/S in 1995 from a farmer at the Northern Navajo Fair in Shiprock. The longest one grown by our partner farmer last year was 44" long, though most are in the range of 20-30". Food for a crowd in any case. An occasional blue teardrop shape may appear. Showed some resistance to squash bugs in our partner's growout. From our Seed Bank Collection.
- Origin: high desert, about 4900' elevation.
- Approx. 5g/15 seeds per packet.
- Limit 3 packets.
