The Cucurbita moschata Lugo F1 is a high-quality F1 hybrid butternut squash, developed for gardeners and professional growers who strive for reliable harvests, uniform fruits, and excellent culinary quality. Lugo F1 combines the traditional characteristics of butternut squash with modern hybrid advantages: fast maturation, robust plants, and high yields.
Lugo 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 fruits both decorative and practical for the kitchen and market.
The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a delicate nutty flavor. The compact seed cavity provides a high edible weight, making the fruit efficient and versatile in the kitchen.
Lugo F1 is a robust F1 hybrid that excels in reliability and productivity. The plants have medium to long vines and healthy foliage, which protects the fruits from sunburn and desiccation. Lugo F1 also offers resistance to common butternut squash diseases, including powdery mildew, making the variety suitable for both commercial cultivation and hobby gardens.
Important cultivation characteristics:
High-yielding F1 hybrid with uniform fruits
Reliable fruit set and fast ripening
Strong leaf growth protects the fruits
Good resistance to common diseases
Excellent for open field and commercial cultivation
For optimal growth, Lugo F1 requires 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 promote fruit quality and yield.
The aromatic and sweet flesh of the Lugo F1 is very versatile. It's firm enough for roasting, yet becomes soft and buttery when boiled or pureed, making it suitable for a variety of dishes.
Recommended applications:
Roasted pumpkin cubes or slices
Creamy pumpkin soups
Stews and curries
Puree for pasta, gnocchi or baby food
Baking recipes such as muffins, bread or pumpkin pie
Stuffed pumpkin from the oven
The compact seed cavity makes the pulp efficient for domestic and commercial cooking.
Lugo F1 has excellent storage qualities. After a short curing period, the fruits can be stored for up to four months in a cool, dry place. During storage, the flavor deepens and the flesh becomes even sweeter and creamier, ideal for winter dishes and long-term culinary uses.
