Butternut Jupiter F1

Butternut Jupiter F1 is a hybrid variety of butternut squash known for its high yield, uniform fruit, and excellent storage qualities. This variety is favored by both commercial growers and home gardeners for its reliability, robust growth, and superior quality. Butternut Jupiter F1 produces large, elongated fruits with smooth, tan skin and sweet, nutty flesh.

Features

  • Butternut Jupiter F1 plants are vigorous and vining, with a sprawling growth habit. They require ample space to grow and produce abundant fruit.
  • The fruits are elongated with a bulbous end, typically measuring 8-12 inches in length. They have smooth, tan skin and deep orange flesh that is sweet and nutty.
  • This variety matures in approximately 90-100 days from transplanting, making it a mid to late-season producer.
  • Butternut Jupiter F1 is known for its high productivity, often producing a significant number of fruits per plant.
  • This variety is resistant to common squash diseases such as powdery mildew and downy mildew, ensuring a healthy crop with minimal chemical intervention.

Application

  • Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 3-4 weeks old and have developed several true leaves. Space plants 3-4 feet apart in rows spaced 5-6 feet apart.
  • Butternut Jupiter F1 squash prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Incorporate compost or well-rotted manure into the soil before planting.
  • The plants require full sun, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and side-dress with a high-potassium fertilizer during the growing season to support vigorous growth and fruit production.
  • Monitor for common pests such as squash bugs, cucumber beetles, and vine borers. Use organic pesticides, row covers, and crop rotation to manage pests and diseases.

Storage

  • Store Butternut Jupiter F1 squash seeds in a cool, dry place. Use airtight containers to protect from moisture and pests. Properly stored seeds can remain viable for up to five years.
  • Harvest squash when they have reached full maturity, indicated by a hard rind and a uniform tan color. Cut the fruits from the vine, leaving a short stem attached. Cure the squash by placing them in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area for about 10-14 days. After curing, store the squash in a cool, dark, and dry place. Properly stored butternut squash can last for several months.
  • Butternut squash can be frozen, canned, or dried for long-term storage. To freeze, peel, and cut the squash into cubes, then blanch in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath before drying and packaging for the freezer. Canned squash can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
