Candy Stick Delicata

Cucurbita pepo
 
I have grown this Delicata every year for the past ten years for good reason.  The sweet flavor is the best of any delicata I"ve found, they are well adapted to my Northwest farm and they have strong storage capabilities as the fruits last long into the Winter. The fruits are large but with a small seed cavity so you are getting the best bang for your buck. Candy stick was bread by Carol Deppe in Oregon and her breeding work is just top notch.  I try to grow as many variaties of hers that I can.  Bred by Carol Deppe in Corvallis, Oregon.
