Winter squash 'Australian Butter'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Australian Butter is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.1 and 7.5 as Australian Butter likes to be in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.28 feet (70.0 cm) between Winter squash plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Australian Butter is a tender plant.

Mature fruit weighs about fifteen pounds. Ready in 90-100 days.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid autumn.
