DESCRIPTION
This unique hybrid could change the winter squash market forever! Perfect combination of rich, creamy, nutty flavored, dark orange flesh with the stringy consistency of vegetable spaghetti. Cooked flesh is super sweet and delicious. It can be used as a pasta substitute, roasted or blended in soups. The 2'W spread of the semi-vining plants produce a heavy crop, up to 10 or more, pale white to tan, green striped 9-10"L hard fruits that store well. Great for gardeners with limited space. Once you grow Sugaretti, you will not want to grow a regular vegetable spaghetti ever again!
CLASSIFICATIONS
HYBRID
Created from a controlled method of pollination in which the pollen of two different species or varieties is crossed by human intervention. Typical F1 varieties are deliberately created to breed a desired trait. Gardeners who use hybrid plant varieties usually purchase new seed every year, however, over several years the seed could eventually be used for open pollination
