Cucurbita moschata 'Hawk'

A British-bred butternut squash, producing roughly bell-shaped fruits on trailing vines in excess of 1.8m (6ft) long. The small, smooth, pale orange, hard-skinned fruits, can be ready to harvest from early autumn into late autumn, making it ideally suited for growing in the shorter UK climate. They store well once ripe and have sweet, bright orange flesh with a nutty taste. They can reach around 700g (approximately (1½lbs) in weight.
