Ambercup squash (aka Amber Cup, aka Red Kabocha) looks like a small, slightly-flattened pumpkin.

It has an orange shell with tan blotches, a white cap and slightly-indented tan ribs.

The squash grow to be about 20 cm (8 inches) wide by 12 ½ cm (5 inches) tall, and weigh 1 ⅓ to 1 ¾ kg (3 to 4 pounds.)

Inside, the squash has a large cavity,

The orange, finely-textured flesh is sweet and dense, and not watery. The texture and flavour is similar to that of acorn squash and kabocha squash.

The squash grows on vines that spread a great deal and need guidance, but they can be trained to grow up a trellis.

F1 hybrid.

100 days from seed.

Cooking Tips

Good baked.

Very hard rind on it, so tackle it carefully so that your knife doesn’t slip on you. The cavity inside is easily cleaned.
