suited to Kansas heat and humidity (Zone 6b). Direct sow after frost or start indoors about 3 weeks early. Roughly 80 days to maturity, early for a butternut, with good storage life. Fruit runs a uniform 2 lbs on a compact, powdery-mildew-tolerant plant. An F1 hybrid selected for powdery mildew tolerance and uniform fruit.

Hand-packed fresh in Newton, Kansas. 10 or 20 seeds per pack.
