 There are two Banana Winter Squash like these in the mission. Ours and one at a place called Lukachukai at Inscription House. The Winter Banana is an open pollinated squash and there is a genetic combination that gives this result. At Lukachukai there is not a pumpkin within miles according to Brother Seely who is our specialist that teaches at BYU. We have dubbed this as a Squashkin because it is right next to our Pumpkin plant. |

The squash measures 17.5 inches high and is 15 inches across the middle of the plant. There are only two squash on the entire vine. The second squash is just a little larger than the one that Lyndy is standing by. It is covered with vines and leave so it is more difficult to measure and take a picture of that one. The picture on the left is the picture of our Pumpkin. It is half the size of our Squashkin.
