About this product
Hardened off and ready to transplant as soon as it warms up - Hida Kabocha (super rare Japanese heirloom winter squash)
The Hida is rare even in Japan, where these squashes rarely make it to grocery stores. These are the sweetest squash I have ever grown, and the only one that smelled sweet when I cut it open. Fruits are oblong and boat shaped and can be from 7-11lbs. Flesh is dry therefore this squash will not mush when roasted or stir fried. The skin can be eaten too, so there is no waste. Sleepy G farms has grown these and they said it made the best pumpkin pies ever! These kabocha keep at room temperature - I ate my last one in April.
As far as I know, this variety is not grown or sold outside of Japan. It's trademarked name is actually Sukuna - but only those grown in a small geographical area in Japan can legally be called Sukuna. Because it's an heirloom variety, seeds are legal to save and sell, and they are sold under the name Hida (a wider geographical area) in Japan. That's why you won't find any information on this variety if you google it in English.
All of these seedlings are from locally adapted seeds produced by myself. They currently spend their days outside on my deck and nights in the house.
