Mayo Baviri
Cucurbita maxima. These large fruits are variable in shape and color. Young fruits have green-gray skin that turns orange or white as it ripens and cures. Mature fruits have nice thick, mild-flavored flesh. Though it comes from coastal Sonora, this variety was a strong producer in our Tucson grow-out, with good leaf coverage shielding blossoms and young squashes from the heat of the sun.
Collected in 1985 from a Mayo community in coastal Sonora near the Gulf of California. From our Seed Bank Collection.
- Origin: low coastal, about 300' elevation
- A little over 2 months from planting to first edible fruit; keeps producing until frost.
- Approx. 4g/15 seeds per packet.
- Limit 3 packets
