This is a long season squash to mature. I picked about 35 percent of them immature for feed at the end of the season. 2013 was the 2nd year growing this cultivar. Mainly in the 10 - 25 lb range. Most in the 12 - 17 lb size. Not very productive, only one per plant, but they had severe pressure from squash bugs and powdery mildew. Only sprayed once. Would no doubt have better production with more spraying. Taste is great. Excellent keepers.
