Overview
Tay Belle (Asgrow's XPH 1209, 1980) is an early F1 acorn squash whose fruit blackens at a young stage of maturity, so it looks ripe quickly. Fruit is about 6 by 5 inches and 1 to 1.5 pounds, dark green to jet black, and it stores well. The semi-bush vines are short enough to plant closely, and the variety resists powdery mildew. Similar to Table Ace; about 68 days.
