Japanese Red Kuri is a beautiful heirloom winter squash prized for its vibrant red-orange skin, rich golden flesh, and exceptional flavor. The name “Kuri” means chestnut in Japanese, a nod to its sweet, nutty taste.

The teardrop-shaped fruits weigh 3–8 pounds and contain dry, smooth, richly flavored flesh that cooks beautifully. Red Kuri squash is incredibly versatile in the kitchen and works well in soups, pies, desserts, risotto, lasagna, pancakes, tarts, and baked dishes.

Plants produce 4–6 foot vines, are high yielding, and store well after harvest. They thrive in full sun and mature in approximately 92 days, making them a dependable choice for both home gardens and culinary use.

This 4" potted Japanese Red Kuri squash is perfect for gardeners looking to grow a visually striking squash with outstanding flavor and versatility.
