Note
When I started growing this Butternut in 2006, it was almost a total failure. The years that followed, too… It must be said that it lacked love, abandoned in sandy soil without any irrigation… But slowly the variety probably acclimatized. Our production is now exceptional, still in sandy soil and without irrigation.
