Heungbu Summer Squash, also known as Aehobak, is a remarkable addition to your garden. As a member of the C. moschata species, this variety is vine borer resistant, ensuring a continuous harvest throughout the summer months.

Key Benefits

Heungbu offers a compact vine growth of about 4 feet, making it ideal for small gardens. This open-pollinated variety produces delicious fruits with a buttery texture and mild flavor, which many prefer over traditional zucchini. The fruits are best harvested at around 6 inches for optimal taste.
