Galeux d'Eysines Squash

Galeux d'Eysines Squash is flattened, with slight ribbing, and a yellow-coloured rind ripening to a salmon colour. Peanut-sized swellings ("warts") grow on the skin, making it so ugly it's beautiful in a way.

It will weigh 10 to 25 pounds (4 1/2 to 11 kg.) Inside, it has sweet, orange flesh.

It is best harvested before surface is entirely covered in warts.

Vine-type plant; 90 to 100 days from seed.
