Overall Taste Yield Ease	Denton, Texas, United States Frost Free Season: More than 203 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Sweet REBA is a very compact plant that produces very round acorn squash. In 2014 I grew about 10 plants and had acorn squash stacked all over my kitchen. They were very sweet and kept for months. They also were the last squash standing in the Texas heat. I will grow them again every year.

Overall Taste Yield Ease	Washington, Vermont, United States Frost Free Season: 103 - 123 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
Hands down the best squash I have ever eaten or grown. Easy to grow. Large yet compact plants each producing 6-12 good sized acorn squash in 2 successive bursts. Holds up to powdery mildew well. Taste is outstanding: sweet with a perfect texture. I bake them plane with no seasoning or sweetener and even the kids love them that way.
