Cucurbita moschata – Marvinna F1: High-yielding, aromatic butternut squash hybrid

The Cucurbita moschata Marvinna F1 is a high-quality F1 hybrid butternut squash, developed for both amateur gardeners and professional growers who desire a reliable harvest and uniform fruits. Marvinna F1 combines the traditional characteristics of butternut squash with the advantages of modern F1 breeding: fast ripening, robust plants, and high yields. This variety is known for its aromatic and sweet flesh, ideal for culinary use and winter storage.

Appearance and characteristics of the fruits

Marvinna 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 visually appealing and practical for processing.

The flesh is deep orange, creamy, aromatic, and sweet, with a delicate nutty flavor. The seed cavity is compact, meaning a large portion of the fruit remains edible and can be efficiently used in a variety of dishes.

Cultivation characteristics and growth

Marvinna F1 is a robust F1 hybrid that excels in reliability and productivity. The plants develop medium to long vines and healthy foliage, which protects the fruits from sunburn and desiccation. The variety also offers resistance to common butternut squash diseases, making it 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, Marvinna 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.

Culinary applications

The sweet and aromatic flesh of Marvinna F1 is versatile and suitable for a variety of dishes. It's firm enough for roasting, yet becomes soft and buttery when boiled or pureed.

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

The compact seed cavity makes the pulp efficient for domestic and commercial cooking.
