Granite F1 is a high-quality Cucurbita moschata F1 hybrid, developed for both professional growers and serious home gardeners seeking a high-yielding, reliable, and flavorful pumpkin variety. This variety combines the classic characteristics of butternut squash with the advantages of F1 breeding: uniform fruits, fast ripening, consistent yields, and robust plants. Granite F1 is known for its large, high-quality fruits and excellent cultivation performance, making it ideal for both culinary and commercial use.
Granite F1 produces large, uniform fruits, usually weighing between 3 and 5 kilograms, with the classic butternut squash shape: an elongated neck and a rounded body. The skin is smooth, firm, and light beige to cream-colored, making the pumpkins attractive for markets and kitchens.
The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a subtle nutty undertone. The compact seed cavity provides a high edible weight, making Granite F1 efficient and versatile in the kitchen.
Granite F1 is a vigorously growing F1 hybrid with reliable fruit set and high yields. The plants have medium to long vines and healthy foliage, which protects the fruit from sunburn and dehydration. This variety performs well in warm climates and is resistant to common butternut squash diseases, including powdery mildew.
Important cultivation characteristics:
High-yielding hybrid with uniform fruits
Reliable and fast fruit setting
Strong leaf growth protects the fruits
Good resistance to common diseases

For optimal growth, Granite F1 is recommended for full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Sow indoors from April or outdoors from late May, once the soil temperature is consistently above 15°C. Regular watering and mulching will promote yield and fruit quality.
The aromatic and sweet flesh of Granite F1 is versatile in the kitchen. It's firm enough for roasting, yet softens and becomes buttery when boiled or pureed, making it suitable for a wide variety of dishes.
Recommended applications:
Roasted pumpkin cubes or slices
Creamy pumpkin soups
Stews and curries
Puree for pasta, gnocchi or baby food
