Cucurbita moschata is a warm-season annual with trailing or climbing stems and tendrils.

Botanical characteristics

Butternut is one familiar type within this broader squash species. The catalogue also contains other named fruit forms, so a species label should not imply that every reference has the same neck, rind or size.

More than one fruit shape

Waltham Butternut, Musquee de Provence and Long Island Cheese are separate named entries for seed retailers. They give a wholesale assortment more precise references than a generic “winter squash mix”.
