Butterbush is a compact butternut-type winter squash prized for its sweet, nutty flavor and small, classic shape. A small seed cavity means more flesh per fruit, and the tidy plants are ideal for small gardens and containers. Each plant produces between 3 and 6 squash of about 1 to 2 pounds, with a long shelf life.
