Product details & growing guidance
Mini Paulista brings something different to the summer squash patch: young, green-and-ivory striped fruit with a little butternut shape. This Cucurbita moschata can be picked tender at about 6 inches or smaller, then sliced for the skillet, grill, or a quick supper.
It is a vine borer resistant choice for gardeners who have struggled to keep ordinary summer squash going. Resistance does not eliminate pest risk, so keep scouting the vines. Plants may start with a shorter habit and spread more as the season goes on; give them room and keep picking to encourage more fruit.
- Packet options: 15 or 30 seeds
- Species: Cucurbita moschata
- Harvest: Pick young at 6 inches or less for summer squash
- Season: About 70 days; weather and harvest timing vary
- Planting: Direct sow after frost in warm soil, full sun
The gallery shows the striped fruit at different stages. Learn how to plant and harvest it in our Mini Paulista growing guide.
