| If you want an extremely phallic looking winter squash, this is the one for you. Shape might be a bit offputting to some.
What is amazing is the neck is all meat and no seeds. Makes preparing and cooking much easier than many other squash. Like a deformed butternut with much more meat and fewer seeds.
Great butternut flavor that gets better in storage and stores really well. Vines can get pretty long so give it room or prepare for other things to get overtaken. |

Grew this for the first year. Vines were huge, at least 30' and even grew up into a tree. Fruit were huge but each vine only produced one. Very tasty! |

| This is the same thing as "neck pumpkin". See my review there. Also, there are more sources under that name. |
