Bobbon F1 is super delicious and early. AAS winner in the past, not a new variety. I grew several varieties, but only got to harvest BON Bon (others planted late and killed by powdery mildew) and a few red Kuri.
BonBon's earliness was important for getting a harvest before disease hit in my climate. Each fruit is about 3-4 pounds, perfect for one roasting pan. No need to peel, cut in chunks, coated with oil, salt ,garlic and rosemary, it''s the best. It is better than most butternuts ,which I love,however, the butternuts I buy tend to be immature and stringy, hard to find a good one these days. But every Bon Bon F1 of mine is good without the stringiness. Those who I gave BONBON to also like them.
It also does not need much curing time. So I am going to grow mostly this one next year.
