An early ripening grafted butternut squash, which will mature even earlier because it's been grafted. Plants are very high yielding, giving you a really good supply throughout summer & autumn, each one a lovely buff colour, with attractive, fine-flavoured orange flesh. Plus they're one of the most versatile of all vegetables, & can be used in any way that a potato can, & stored in a frost-free place throughout winter. What's so good about grafted veg plants? We are revolutionising the home grown vegetable market with our range of grafted vegetable plants! Commercially the grafting method has been used for some time, but we've developed them for the home gardener, & early adopters have had extraordinary results: Big increases in yield from larger, more vigorous plants Earlier cropping, yet with sufficient vigour to crop well later in the season Grow in the greenhouse or outdoors
- little or no heating required Excellent resistance to soil-borne pest & diseases
- no more ring culture or grow bags
- plant straight in the soil Greater tolerance to nutritional disorders
