A striking orange-skinned winter squash prized for its chestnut-like flavour and smooth, velvety flesh. Red Kuri matures early, producing generous yields of tear-drop–shaped fruits that store exceptionally well. Excellent for roasting, soups, and purees. Vigorous vines thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Approx. 110 days to maturity.
