Candystick Delicata Organic Squash Seeds

For those who think no meal is complete without something sweet, we offer you Candystick Delicata! Released by master breeder and author Carol Deppe, who first inspired us to start breeding tomatoes over 15 years ago. She selected this squash for thick flesh, luscious texture, top-notch flavor, storage, and vigorous growth. Fruits ripen to a rich orange-tan with green stripes. This variety includes desired, natural fruit shape variability which, Deppe contends, contributes to genetic diversity and vigor. Compared to regular Delicata, Candystick stores better and retains sweetness longer. Just cut it lengthwise, de-seed and roast - you may even save it for dessert! See our website for Carol Deppe’s tips for a perfectly roasted Candystick. This variety of squash has been released under the Open Source Seed Initiative pledge. 90 days to maturity.
