This squash grex includes the blue-skinned varieties 'Queensland Blue', 'Triamble', and 'Jarrahdale'. They were all grown together and allowed to cross-pollinate with each other. The plants endured a multitude of stressors, including under-fertilization, insufficient watering, and a plethora of insect pests. Absolutely no pesticides were used on the plants. Not all of the plants made it, but seed was saved from the ones that thrived and were productive. The genetics are here to adapt it to your conditions. This exciting new grex comes to us from Kevin Bane of Philadelphia, Tennessee.
