Best Butternut Squash Variety for Upt North

from Grow your Own.info:There has been a breeding breakthrough with a new butternut (cucurbita moschata) crossed with a Winter squash, Crown Prince F1 (cucurbita maxima). When trialled last year, in Glasgow, it set fruits at least a month before the previously available fastest butternuts. It was only protected for the first month with a mini-tunnel. This is my  choice if you wish to grow a butternut type of squash.

Squashkin, also to be known as Autumn Crown. Produces a slightly mottled, buff coloured, thin skinned fruit, shaped like a slightly smaller Crown Prince and weighing up to 1 Kg. The fruits have a large amount of useable orange, very sweet flesh which smell of melon when freshly cut. Trailing vine up to 4 m.
