GELBER ENGLISCHER CUSTARD SQUASH

Clear lemon-yellow fruit is a patty-pan type, but with a bizarre twist. Fruit is oddly flattened—impossible to describe. Productive bush plants yield over a long season if kept picked. Recommended for cooler climates like the Pacific Northwest. This unique variety originated in Gatersleben, Germany. Described in Amy Goldman’s book “The Complete Squash.” Matures orange in color.
