Squash
Crown Prince
Crown Prince is a UK favourite, producing distinctive blue-grey, drum-shaped fruits with vivid orange flesh and an outstanding sweet, nutty flavour. It keeps exceptionally well and is considered by many to be the finest-tasting winter squash available. The large fruits can weigh 3-5 kg and require a long, warm growing season.
