Details
A delicious squash with an unusual name! Pink Banana is an heirloom introduced in 1893. It was common in American Pioneer gardens, so you will enjoy a taste of history with every bite of this fiberless, yellow-orange squash that is great for pies, baking, or canning. The large, 18"-24" long and 6"-7" wide squash can weigh up to 10 pounds and grow on vigorous 12"-15" vines, so be sure to give them plenty of room to sprawl. Also known as Mexican Banana and Plymouth Rock.
