Avalon
Avalon is a uniform, high-yielding hybrid butternut squash, favoured for its excellent field performance and natural mildew tolerance. Maturing in approximately 88 days, Avalon produces smooth, buff-tan fruits averaging 17 cm long by 7 cm wide (7 x 3 inch), weighing between 1.8 and 2.2 kg (4 and 5 lbs). Its consistent shape and fine-grained orange flesh make it a reliable choice for both fresh markets and packing.
