KALABASA HIGH YIELD VARIETY

"Kalabasa" is the Philippine word for squash and is sometimes used interchangeably to refer to both summer and winter squash (Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita moschata). The Philippine Bureau of Plant Industry refers to kalabasa as "Cucurbita moschata Duch," which includes several varieties of winter squash. All require a sunny location and fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 5.8 and 6.8. These plants produce long vines that range in length from 3 feet to 15 feet or more, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
