Lives up to its reputation as the best-tasting acorn. Great flavor coupled with dry texture (two elements of a great squash). Thicker, sweeter, and drier flesh than other acorns. Easily identified by its attractive heavy ribbing and black-green skin. Vining plant habit. NOTE: For sweetest flavor, wait two or more weeks after harvest. Avg. weight: 2 lb. Avg. yield: 5–6 fruits/plant.
