Cucurbits

Tozer is actively breeding butternut squash. We develop varieties which mature quickly and therefore they are suitable for Northern European production. We also trial an extensive amount of winter squash from around the world. The long storage potential for winter squash allows for an extended sales period. For some cultivars, under the right conditions, storage can continue from harvest through to spring the following year. Tozer offers varieties for fresh market and the processing industry.
