Pink Banana Jumbo Squash seeds
Get your scale ready; these squash get huge! The Pink Banana Jumbo Squash is a popular heirloom that can reach 2'-3'at maturity and weigh between 70-80 lbs. The skin is thin while growing but will toughen up and turn a salmon color when mature. This variety also keeps long throughout the winter, with one of the most impressive shelf lives of any squash. The inside holds a narrow seed cavity with generous thick flesh-covered walls. The meat inside is not stringy, making it a great candidate for canning, purees, pies, main entrees, and festive side dishes. The flavor is best described as earthy, sweet, fragrant, and more concentrated than standard varieties.
