Green Striped Cushaw is a gorgeous giant green and white streaked crookneck Winter squash growing over 12 inches long! This mildly sweet and meaty squash originates from the south of Mexico and delicious as pie filling, cushaw butter, puddings, or roasted in soups, pies, stews, and curries. It grows vigorously in warm climates and is highly adaptable to different soil types, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, high-yielding crop. Not only is it great for culinary use, but it also stores well, allowing gardeners to enjoy the harvest long after the growing season ends. Save the seeds to roast for snacking or pureeing into sauces, which was believed to have medicinal properties.

Squash is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable growing technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and corn. Each plant had its role in this companion planting tradition. Corn served as a structure for the vining beans to grow up. Squash served as a ground cover to prevent weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all.
