The Butterbaby F1 PMT is a modern Cucurbita moschata F1 hybrid, developed for gardeners who want to grow a compact, productive, and high-quality culinary pumpkin. This variety combines the classic sweet flavor of the butternut squash with compact growth, strong disease resistance, and reliable yields. Butterbaby F1 PMT is ideal for professional growers, home gardeners with limited space, and consumers who want to harvest a premium-quality pumpkin.
Butterbaby F1 PMT produces medium-sized to large fruits, typically weighing between 1.5 and 3 kilograms, with the classic butternut shape: an elongated, elegant neck and a rounded belly. The skin is smooth and creamy, with a firm texture that protects the fruits during growth and storage.
The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a delicate nutty flavor. The compact seed cavity leaves a large amount of edible flesh, making Butterbaby F1 PMT an efficient and versatile choice for cooking.
One of the main advantages of Butterbaby F1 PMT is its bushy, compact growth. Unlike traditional butternut squashes that form long vines, this variety remains manageable and is suitable for smaller gardens, patios, or raised beds.
Important cultivation characteristics:
Compact growth, ideal for small gardens or limited space
Reliable fruit set and fast ripening
PMT resistance: excellent protection against Phytophthora (fungal disease)
Strong leaf growth protects the fruits and reduces sunburn
High yield per plant despite compact shape
The plants thrive in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering during fruiting and mulch to retain moisture optimizes fruit growth and quality.
Butterbaby F1 PMT is known for its sweet, creamy flesh, which is versatile in the kitchen. It's firm enough for roasting, yet becomes buttery-soft when boiled or pureed.
Recommended applications:
Roasted pumpkin cubes or slices
Creamy pumpkin soup
Stews and curries
Puree for pasta, gnocchi or baby food
Baking recipes such as muffins, bread and pumpkin pie
Stuffed pumpkin from the oven
The fine texture and small seed cavity make this variety very efficient for culinary preparations.
Butterbaby F1 PMT offers excellent storage quality. After a short curing period, the fruits can be stored for up to four months in a cool, dry place. During storage, the flesh becomes even sweeter and the aromas develop further, making the pumpkin perfect for winter cooking and commercial processing.
