Distinctively turban shaped this popular glossy green squash grows from 4 to 6 pounds. The fiber-free flesh and rich taste make it a good choice for keeping over the winter. It takes this squash about 95 days to ripen for harvest. Winter squash such as Buttercrop Burgess comes from the Native Americans developed and cultivated in their gardens long before the arrival of the explorers and settlers. Traditionally squash was grown alongside beans and corn as part of the three sisters group; these three vegetables greatly benefit each others growth.
