‘South Anna Butternut’ is an open-pollinated, butternut squash variety derived from a cross between a ‘Waltham’ Butternut Pumpkin and ‘Seminole’ Pumpkin. It has the shape of a traditional butternut squash with the disease-resistance and vigor of the ‘Seminole’ Pumpkin.

Rich, sweet flavour and great long storage in an excellent downy mildew resistant, productive vine.

Immature fruits are mostly dark green - harvest when they have turned tan for best flavour and maturity. These ones take longer to turn fully tan, but when they do you can be sure that they are ripe.

Developed by Edmund Frost of Common Wealth Seed Growers. Stemming from a 2011 cross between Seminole Pumpkin and Waltham Butternut, the final stages of selection are ongoing.

OSSI pledged variety.
