Muscat de Provence
Muscat de Provence is a trailing, vigorous squash variety with dark green, flattened, round and ribbed fruits which gain a yellowy grey shimmer as they ripen. Flesh orange red. Late ripening, stores well when well matured. Warmth loving and especially suited to a wine growing climate. Excellent taste.
