Hokkori 133, Hybrid
|
This winter squash hybrid offers the high-productivity of Delica variety with the high-quality nutty flavor and dry, powdery texture of the Hokkori variety. A very vigorous grower, Hokkori 133 has larger leaves than some kabocha-type squashes and medium-early maturity (7 to 10 days later than a Delica variety). The slightly flattened globe-shaped fruit have the characteristic black-green skin and sweet tasting orange-yellow flesh of a Japanese pumpkin. Fruits weigh between 3.75 to 4.2 lbs. Because of the vigorous nature of this vine squash, growers need less fertilizer at the early stages of growth. The tasty and nutritious fruit store well, or can also be frozen. They are delicious pureed, sautéed with greens, fried for tempura, pickled or stir-fried. Sow seeds in late spring after last frost to early summer. Seeds will rot if soil is too wet or cold.
- Approx. 8-11 seeds in packet. (A seed will vary in weight and size within a given seed lot. The number of seeds stated is only an estimate.)
- Maturity: Approx. 45-50 days after flowering
- Planting season: Late Spring to Early Summer
