Autumn Crown produces an abundance of attractive early maturing butternut-coloured scalloped fruits each weighing around 4.5 lbs from reduced vines. The long- storing fruits have a unique ‘sweet melon’ aroma when cut and the flesh is a deep orange with a small seed cavity.
This early maturing, processing type has large 7.5 lb fruits with great internal colour and flavor. This traditional shaped butternut grows on a full vine plant and has the potential to produce a large amount of uniform fruit.
