SQUASH Tatume 3″ sqpt

Tatume is a vining, rare summer squash that has been a long-time favorite in southern Texas and Mexico. Aka tatuma or calabacita. Plants are productive and fairly short-vined, growing well in warmer and cooler locations. They have a firm texture and a fine, rich and nutty flavor. They can be harvested starting at 45 days when they are small, round, and green (summer squash) or you can let them mature until they are medium-small oblong orange pumpkins (winter squash) with a thick shell. Best picked when about 3”-5”. Incredibly drought tolerant. Highly resistant to squash vine borers!
