any thoughts on long island cheese butternut hybrid ?

15 years ago

Just wondering if this type hybrid would pan out ok. I guess you never know until you try. I'm thinking about planting approx 20x30 foot area with long island cheese pumpkins and butternut squash. Both are moschata i beleive.

No reason that I know of, that you could not cross a cheese pumpkin with a butternut. Some of the tear drop shaped C. moschatas may have come about that way.
