Description
Squash ‘Butternut Waltham’ is a widely popular and dependable heirloom variety of winter squash, particularly well-suited for cultivation in South Africa due to its robust nature and excellent storage qualities. It produces classic bell or peanut-shaped fruits with smooth, hard, pale tan skin and vibrant, deep orange flesh. This variety is highly prized for its rich, sweet, and nutty flavour, which intensifies with cooking, and its fine, non-fibrous texture. ‘Butternut Waltham’ is incredibly versatile in the kitchen, making it a staple for roasting, baking, boiling, and steaming. It’s commonly used in soups, stews, curries, purees, and as a healthy side dish. Its long storage life after harvesting, often lasting for several months in cool, dry conditions, further adds to its appeal for both home gardeners and commercial growers.
