Overview
Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck is a butternut-type heirloom from Pennsylvania with a long, curved neck that is nearly solid, seedless flesh. Fruit is big, 10 to 20 pounds, with brown-tan skin and smooth, rich orange flesh. The vigorous 6 to 8 foot vines want full sun and room to spread, and the fruit needs a long season to mature, so sow into warm soil after frost without delay. Cure in a warm, dry spot after harvest; keeping quality is excellent. The solid neck makes it very efficient for roasting and soups.
