The Uchiki Kuri squash, also known as Red Kuri, Hokkaido squash, or Potimarron

Bring beauty and flavor to your garden with Uchiki Kuri Squash, a vibrant Japanese heirloom winter squash. With its bright orange-red skin and sweet, chestnut-like flavor, this teardrop-shaped variety matures in 85–95 days and is perfect for roasting, soups, or baking.
