An Australian Heirloom variety, producing vigorous trailing vines with 3-5kg deeply ribbed attractive steel blue fruits.  The bright orange flesh is sweet with almost treacle like hint when roasted and the fruits store extremely well for 4-5 months in cool, dark and dry conditions.
Cultivation advice Squash Queensland Blue
- Â A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential.
- The soil must be well drained and rich in humus, the more the better. I fill each hole at least 30 cm square with garden compost and paper at the bottom into which goes a single plant. For bush varieties 24in between each plant is fine 48in for vines.
- Many winter Squash / Pumpkins like to sprawl out and need plenty of space. Vining Squash / Pumpkins require a larger area to run, whilst semi-vining and bush varieties of winter squash / courgette can be well contained. If space is tight just keep turning the branches back to the centre to prevent spreading and over-running other plants.
