Test Green Striped Cushaw Check out our other listings ! Cushaw pumpkins (also called Cushaw squash) were first grown by native peoples in the Americas as a staple food. They mature late in the summer or fall and are commonly used for pies, soups, and in other culinary dishes. They also make great Thanksgiving and Halloween decorations! Productive, semi-bush vines produce heavy yields of cream colored, green striped fruits that are pear shaped and long necked and weigh around 25-30 pounds each. Hard-shelled rinds make cushaw an excellent winter keeper, and the fruit will stay good for many months if stored in a cool, dark environment. Flesh is golden and fine grained. 110 days to maturity. Cushaw Germination Guide Direct sow. Similar to other pumpkin varieties, cushaw squash do best when planted directly in the ground. As they are very sensitive to the cold, be sure to wait until soil temperatures have warmed to 70°F or higher. Select a planting site. Be sure to give your cushaw squash plenty of space for their sprawling vines. If space is limited, plant the squash at the edge of your garden and direct vine growth across your lawn. Prepare the planting site. Make sure the soil is nutrient rich and well-drained. Consider mixing aged manure and/or compost into the soil prior to planting. Sow seeds in rows or on small mounds known as ‘hills”. Hills are best as the soil tends to warm more rapidly, helping to speed up germination, and will help with water drainage and pest control. Make your hills about 6 to 12 inches in height. If using hills, plant the seeds 1 inch deep into the hills, 2 to 3 seeds per hill in hills that are 4 to 6 feet apart. If using rows, sow seeds 6 to 12 inches apart in rows that are 6 to 10 feet apart. Water often during germination. Be sure to keep the soil moist but not oversaturated. Seedlings should emerge in about 4 to 7 days if soil temperatures remain consistently warm.
