Squash Sugaretti F1

2017 AAS Edible-Vegetable Winner

Sugaretti is a new spaghetti winter squash that prolifically produces a  generous crop of mid-sized orange-fleshed vegetables. These striped beauties are the perfect size for culinary gardeners who want to grow a great tasting, healthy fall treat on semi-bushy vines that spread only about two feet wide/long. The nutty sweet flesh (somewhat reminiscent of a sweet potato) can be used as a pasta substitute simply roasted or blended in soups.  Determinate vining plants have good disease resistance to powdery mildew and produce fruits slightly earlier than other similar varieties. Sugaretti produces so many fruits that it’s good that their hard shells protect the flesh for a long shelf life.

    Ours is definitely prolific but it’s taking over the garden. It’s grabbed the pea cages and took over the watermelon. It has swallowed the bean poles. It’s covered the paths. It’s insane how big it is. Lots and lots of squash on it.

    My husband didn’t realize it was a type of spaghetti squash so he’s totally bummed. He hates spaghetti squash. Guess it’s good I like them because I’ll be living on them.

    I have been trying to ID a squash I grew that was mislabeled at the nursery, I think this is it, but mine turned a nice pumpkin orange on the outside as I left them on the vine quite awhile. They were yellow and green on the outside initially. Do you think this is what I have? The inside is orange.

      Since AAS Winners are judged for uniformity, we highly doubt your variety is Sugaretti but maybe it is another spaghetti type squash.

  3. David Uhr – 07/22/2019

    This is a vigorous vine, spreading easily 6-8 feet in every direction. No disease and fruit is anywhere from ready to pick to new blossoms, so not exactly determinate either. No disease. Rooting down along vine which helps avoid death by squash Vine Borer. Overall, looks very good, ripening to a striped white color it appears, rather than the typical pale yellow.

  4. Julie K – 08/26/2018

    I’m loving this plant so far – large, plenteous fruit for sure. As for the fruit color, mine is definitely yellow and more like spaghetti squash than sweet potato. And then vines are definitely beyond the two feet expectation. We have had above average rainfall so maybe it normally wouldn’t spread so much but it’s in a 6 ft patch and bursting out of it – growing up the tomato cage on one side and the bean trellis on the other! I’m excited about it though because we have never had a good field with regular spaghetti squash. I’m looking forward to enjoying this hybrid.

  5. Chris P Heaton – 08/18/2018

    What an awesome plant. Will be saving seeds for next year. We got ours at Denver botanic gardens. Only thing I would question is plant size, these things got huge I put a fence up to block from the rest of the garden and they climbed it and hung squash all along it.
