Baby Butternut Squash is a compact winter squash variety that produces small, attractive fruits with the classic pear-shaped butternut form. The fruits have smooth cream-to-tan skin and sweet, deep-orange flesh with a rich, nutty flavor.
Its smaller fruit size makes Baby Butternut particularly convenient for home cooking, roasting, soups, stuffing, and selling as a specialty vegetable. The plants are vigorous and productive, making them suitable for growing along a trellis or allowing the vines to spread.
