Waltham Butternut Squash

Waltham Butternut Squash is a classic heirloom winter squash variety celebrated for its sweet, nutty flavor and smooth, tan skin. These uniform, bell-shaped fruits typically weigh 4–6 pounds and feature deep orange flesh that’s perfect for roasting, soups, and purees. Waltham Butternut matures in about 85–100 days and stores exceptionally well for months after harvest, making it a favorite for long-term use. The vigorous vines thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, producing high yields of consistent, high-quality squash. Packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, this variety is both nutritious and versatile, ideal for home gardens and market growers alike.
