Winter squash 'Triamble'

The vines will grow to cover a very large area. Some people say to pinch out the growing tips after a vine has set about 4 fruit; alternatively to hand-pollinate the first female flower on each runner, then cut that runner. The vines are fairly shallow rooted and need consistent water.

Triamble likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Triamble is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Triamble needs a soil ph of 6.1 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

Triamble needs quite a long growing season and should be planted out early.

Triamble is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in late summer.

Named for the unusual shape of the fruit, typically with three lobes, resembling a three leaf clover.

Reputed to store for up to 2 years under ideal conditions.
