Squash
Berry Sucrine
Sucrine du Berry is an ancient variety of butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata), prized for its sweet, melting flesh. It is distinguished by its elongated, ripe, beige-coloured fruit, which can weigh between 1 and 3 kg. The bright orange flesh is particularly rich in flavour, with a velvety texture that makes it ideal for cooking. It lends itself equally well to soups, purées, gratins or tarts, and has an excellent shelf life, allowing it to be enjoyed several months after harvest.
This squash appreciates full sun exposure to ensure good development. The soil should be rich, deep, well drained and moist. A slightly acidic, neutral soil is ideal, with a good supply of nutrients to support vigorous plant growth. Before planting, it is advisable to enrich the soil with well-decomposed compost or manure, which ensures a good supply of organic matter.
Sowing can be done under cover several weeks before planting…
