Japanese heirloom with unforgettable visual appearance and irresistably sweet flesh.
The decorative quality of this unique fruit makes it an ornamental treasure in fall. Spooky and gorgeous at the same time, fruit are bumpy and textured with frosted grey to russet skin when ripe. The delicious flesh is sweet raw or roasted, with light and fruity notes that hang delicately in each bite. Fruit ripens in winter storage, when the green halo between the flesh and skin disappears and skin turns from black to chestnut. Plants produce 3-5 squash per plant.
