Description
A wonderfully sweet and aromatic acorn squash with gold-yellow small fruits with a diameter of approx. 10cm. Acorn squashes are very popular in the USA and well-suitable for oven dishes.
They owe their name to the acorn-shaped fruits. Depending on the variety, the acorn squash reaches a weight of up to 1.5kg and, beneath its skin, firm, orange-yellow pulp that splendidly tastes of hazelnuts and pepper is hidden.
Due to its relatively compact growth, well-suited for small gardens. In a dark, cool location, the fruits can be stored for up to 6 months.

falsche Wuchsform
Bei der Bestellung ging ich davon aus, dass dieser Kürbis dankend wächst. Ich habe ihn gepflanzt, um den Boden um die Maispflanzen in einem Milpa-beet zu beschatten.
Das war aber leider nichts. Der Kürbis rankt nicht, sondern hat die Wuchsform einer herkömmlichen Zucchinipflanze.
Bin sehr enttäuscht darüber und hätte solch eine Tatsache unbedingt in der Beschreibung erwartet.
