Winter squash, Yellow Hundredweight
Cucurbita maxima
Yellow Centre squash (Cucurbita maxima) produces large and heavy fruits. It is strong and thick having its stems creep, curl, and ramble around the garden. Children marvel and play as they follow the maze-like tendrils. The fruits have a yellow salmon-coloured rind. It holds in storage very well.
