Havana

Havana

Very early maturing vine type butternut with excellent fruit setting ability. One of the biggest advantages of Afrizeus is that it maintains a true Waltham shape during late spring, winter and autumn productions compared to standards. Afrizeus also still produce very uniform fresh market sized fruits in winter production areas, 600 to 1200g. Afrizues have a deep orange flesh colour at full maturity and a small seed cavity.
