Ines is a high-yielding butternut squash variety known for its vigorous growth and resistance to powdery mildew and common viruses. The fruit is elongated (around 35cm) with a slightly pear-shape and a thick neck (9 to 10cm diameter). The smooth rind is easy to peel, and the cavity is small. A long shelf makes this variety excellent for industrial processing.
