Burgess Buttercup Winter Squash (Cucurbita maxima), also known as Turban Squash, is an heirloom dating back to 1932 that was originally intended to be a substitute for sweet potatoes. The fruits produced will resemble a turban shape with a unique grey button on the blossom end, and will grow to be 3-5 lbs.
