Growing Butterbaby Hybrid Mini Butternut Squash
‘Butterbaby Mini Butternut’ is a hybrid winter squash prized for its compact growth, single-serving fruits, and rich nutty flavor. Petite butternuts weigh about ½ to 1½ pounds and reach roughly 4 to 6 inches long, with smooth deep orange flesh and excellent eating quality.
