Overall Taste Yield Ease	Ontario, New York, United States Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
This is a large strain of hubbard, fruits have been 20 to as much as 40 pounds. Large plant with vines 27 - 30 feet long. Usually produces 1 or 2 fruits per plant. Storability is good and eating quality is good to excellent. The down side is the size unless you have an army to feed or wanting to freeze much of it for later use.
