Cucurbita moschata (x C. maxima) kabocha, in other parts of the country it’s known as butternut squash or Japanese pumpkin. No matter what you call it, it is an easy vegetable to grow and a hearty vegetable to eat. Despite being considered a Japanese vegetable, this type of squash was probably domesticated in Central or South America. It is now grown throughout the Pacific and is very popular in Hawaii. And with good reason − it is very adaptable and can grow in many situations, from coastal to upland areas. Kabocha on a fence.

Cultivation As mentioned above, this type of squash can grow pretty much anywhere you have the space. “Space” is the key word here. It is a vining that climbs via tendrils, rather than twining its stems around supports. Although it can be grown sprawling along the ground, I have much better luck with it, and get better-formed fruit, if I grow it on some sort of support. I’ve used fences, bamboo stakes formed into a tipi, and the stems left behind after trimming back pigeon pea bushes. Some people recommend the fruit be supported with some sort of netting but I find that its stems easily support kabocha fruit as long as there is a solid support for those stems. The tendrils are quite strong and if they have something to wrap around, they’ll keep the fruit up and off the ground.
