Squash Winter Pink Banana - 3g (~8 seeds)
Very smooth, velvety skin makes 'Pink Banana' an attractive conversation piece as well as a delicious dish! Ancient Peruvians and American pioneers ate many a hearty meal with banana-type squash. 18"-24" long squash make not only a vegetable side dish, but are luscious in pies and baked goods, and an excellent canning candidate. Long vines up to 15'.
