| | Description: |
USER ENTERED : Powdery mildew can decimate an acorn squash crop, but now there’s a solution - Royal Ace PM. Royal Ace PM produces big yields of high quality acorn squash. The fruit are uniform for size and shape and have an attractive dark green color. The color retention is good in storage and its flesh qualities are rated high. The large semi-bush plants have thicker foliage than other acorn varieties, but their yields and intermediate resistance to Powdery Mildew are second to none.

| Direct sown produced a nice compact plant. Great yield. Nice flavor. Squash was small in size. This plant showed good resistance to powdery mildew as others in the same vicinity started to decline in early August and this one was able to resist infection until late September. |

| Started seeds outdoors at the end of May and again in early July. \r\nSeeds germinated very well . The May planting was kept under floating row covers to deter squash vine borer. Plants died in early July under row covers, possibly due to slug damage. The July planting started out well but failed to thrive due to drought conditions and water restrictions. |
