Butterkin F1 is a modern Cucurbita moschata F1 hybrid, specifically developed for gardeners seeking a compact, productive, and flavorful pumpkin variety. This variety combines the classic sweetness of butternut squash with the advantages of F1 breeding, such as reliable fruit set, strong disease resistance, and uniform, high-quality fruits. Butterkin F1 is ideal for both home gardeners with limited space and professional growers seeking a consistent harvest of premium pumpkins.
Butterkin F1 produces medium to large fruits, usually weighing between 1.5 and 3 kilograms, with a typical butternut shape: an elegant, elongated neck and a rounded belly. The skin is smooth, firm, and creamy, making the pumpkins attractive for both cooking and selling or displaying at markets.
