Squash Honey Bear F1

2009 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

The sweet flavor of Honey Bear is the main reason any gardener would want to grow this acorn squash but there are much more exceptional qualities. For example, tolerance to powdery mildew is a vast improvement. As the fall season nears, Honey Bear will tolerate the cool, moist temperatures and continue to ripen squash while other varieties succumb to mildew. The strong plant produces 3 to 5 squash per plant, and that is a high yield. Honey Bear requires less space in the garden since it has a compact bushy habit. These traits are desirable for consumers with a limited size garden. Earliness is another valuable quality. Honey Bear can be sown and harvested in about 100 days.
