The classic Burgess strain, with sweet, dry, deep orange flesh and popular smallish 6-8" size. Ripens early and develops its sweetness before full maturity, making it a great choice for the coast, the mountains, or the north. Fully ripe ( the stem dry and corky) it will keep all winter. The less mature fruit will not store so well but are still delicious, even the very small ones, giving you a great fresh vegetable at the end of the season. Popular for stuffing, roasting, mashing, etc. Has drier texture many prefer. Many agree with plantsman Alan Kapuler: “If you pick only one squash to grow this is it.”
