Acorn Squash Hybrid?

17 years ago

Does anyone know if seed companies like North Up Queen [I changed the name a bit, never know if we should use a real company name], anyway does anyone know if the Acorn Squash seeds they sell are hybrids? I would like to know because I have a great crop this year and would like to save the seeds for next season. I am a Heirloom lover.

Thanks

The majority of acorn squash cultivars are hybrids. Seed company is immaterial unlees you are buying from a company that deals exclusively with open pollinated seeds like Baker Creek. Tell us the cultivar name and we can tell you whether or not it is a hybrid or you can google by cultivar name.
