Description
The Butternut Sibelle F1 squash, also known as crookneck pumpkin, is a hybrid variety resistant to powdery mildew. It produces fruits weighing between 1 and 1.5 kilos, with beautiful orange skin and excellent-tasting flesh.
Butternut squash, Sucrine du Berry, and others belong to the Cucurbitaceae family, of the genus Cucurbita moschata. This annual herbaceous plant has long, vigorous, trailing, or even climbing stems with strong tendrils. Each plant has separate male and female flowers, making it monoecious. The female flowers will bear fruit once they are pollinated by the pollen from the male flowers.
They are usually elongated in shape, with a swollen club-shaped end, sometimes spherical, flatter, or ribbed. Their colour is also highly variable: dark green, orange, cream, etc. When ripe, they are covered in a characteristic dust. The peduncle has five distinct ribs and widens as it spreads at the point of attachment to the fruit. The flesh is thick and of a rather dark colour, ranging from red to orange.
Harvest and storage:
Harvest the squashes as late as possible but before the first frosts. Keep the peduncle (the stem of the fruit) as large as possible and store them in a cool room (10 to 15°C (50 to 59°F)), making sure they do not touch each other. This way, you can store them for several months to a year.
Gardening tips:
You can bury the stems at the nodes to encourage rooting.
To save space and protect your fruits from rot, you can cultivate pumpkins on supports such as a trellis or sturdy stakes. You can also place a tile or brick, for example, between the ground and the fruit to isolate it and reduce premature rotting. A thick mulch will also do the trick.

Planting and care
Preparation:
Cucurbitaceae, like a rich and deep loose soil. Dig a hole of at least 40cm (16in) in all directions and fill it with well-decomposed manure and/or compost. In addition to good fertilisation, they will need plenty of water and heat, and plenty of space (at least 1 square metre).
Planting:
Planting in open ground is done from mid-May to mid-July, when the risk of frost has passed and the soil is sufficiently warmed up. Space the plants one metre apart in all directions. Soak the plants in water for a few moments before planting. Dig a hole 20cm (8in) in all directions and place compost at the bottom. Plant your plant with the graft point at ground level, without burying it, and cover the root ball with soil. Firm the soil and water.
Maintenance:
Hoe and weed at the beginning of cultivation. We recommend mulching the soil, around the end of June, with thin successive layers of clippings, if possible mixed with dead leaves. This protection, which keeps the soil moist, also reduces weeding. During cultivation, water regularly and generously (once a week in summer if there is mulch).
Finally, you can protect young plants from slugs and snails by placing ashes or coffee grounds nearby, to be renewed after rain.
Running varieties need to be pinched. When the plant has 4 or 5 leaves, cut the stem above the first two leaves. Then cut the secondary stems again, after the formation of 3 or 4 fruits.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
