Winter squash 'Boston Marrow'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Boston Marrow is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Boston Marrow needs a soil ph of 6.1 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Aim to sow 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 2.28 feet (70.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Boston Marrow about 10 days before your last frost date.

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

Mature fruits weigh about fifteen pounds each and are red-orange in color.

Originally grown by Native Americans, gifted to people in the Buffalo, New York area.
