Sibley Squash seeds

SKU: SS6329

Sibley squash is a banana-type Hubbard squash that excels in flavor on account of its sweet flesh. Sibley squash was first grown by the Winnebago Indians and later discovered and introduced in 1888 by Hiram and Sibley Co., Sibley squash has won awards in several taste tests. These look like a cross between a Guatemalan blue and a Hubbard. Their unique pear shape sets them apart from other winter squash. The rind is thick and firm which gives the Sibley squash an impressive shelf life. The flesh inside is a yellow-orange color, fine-grained, and rich in natural sugars. 

 

Each squash will average about 1 foot long with vines reaching between 12-15 feet. Each squash will weigh close to 15 lbs. and last throughout the wintertime. Sibley squash makes an excellent pie squash. Little to no sugar needs to be added when using these to make any baked goods.
