This rare Japanese variety is a selection of Hokkaido winter squash. Hokkaido Semi-Bush has slate green skin instead of orange, and a more compact habit. The fruits weigh 2-4 pounds each. The orange flesh is dry and sweet with a delicate nutty flavor.
Makes excellent soups, desserts, vegetable tarts, cakes, blinis, pancakes, lasagna, risotto, vegetable stews — and gratins.
Perfect for the home gardener due to it's small size, and big flavor.
