Cucurbita moschata – Butterscotch PMT F1: Sweet, compact and PMT-resistant butternut squash

The Butterscotch PMT F1 is a modern Cucurbita moschata F1 hybrid that stands out for its sweet flavor, compact growth, and strong resistance to late blight (PMT). This variety was developed for both amateur gardeners with limited space and professional growers who want a reliable harvest of high-quality culinary pumpkins.

Butterscotch PMT F1 combines the classic creamy, buttery taste of butternut squash with the advantages of modern F1 breeding: uniform fruits, fast ripening, reliable yields and robust plant health.

Appearance and characteristics of the fruits

Butterscotch PMT F1 pumpkins are medium to large, usually weighing between 1.5 and 3 kilograms, with the characteristic butternut shape: an elongated neck and a rounded belly. The skin is smooth, firm, and creamy to light beige, making the pumpkins attractive for both cooking and market consumption.

The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a nutty undertone. The compact seed cavity provides a high edible weight, making this variety efficient and versatile in the kitchen.

Compact growth and PMT resistance

Butterscotch PMT F1 is designed for compact, bushy growth, making it suitable for smaller gardens, raised beds, or vegetable plots with limited space. Despite its compact shape, the variety produces an impressive harvest of uniform fruits.
