“Gelber Englischer” fruits are a vibrant yellow, with creamy yellow and light green stripes. This variety is an heirloom originally from the Gatersleben seed bank in Germany. For best flavor and texture, harvest squash starting at 2″ wide up to 4″ wide. Squash can be eaten when larger than 4″, but seeds inside will be larger and less desirable. If left on the vine, fruits will become quite large and mature to a dark orange color. At this maturity, fruits are best for decoration rather than eating.
