Potimaron or Hokkaido or Huchiki Kuri squash (Cucurbita maxima) : a small and delicious squash native to Japan. The plant has a climbing habit and is very productive. The fruits, which reach 800 grams, are small in size but recognized as among the best in the world. Their sweetness and texture make even the peel edible. The flavor is very reminiscent of chestnuts. Hardy and easy to grow, it is one of the few squashes that can be grown in pots, ready in 90 days from transplanting.
