| Hi All,
I am on a mission trying to source seeds for this Buttercup Squash it is about 150cm round like a ball with a dark green skin and it is very sweet to eat.I came across this when visiting NZ it is grown there for export to Japan I think it may be a Hydrid plant but not sure about that any help on tracking seed source would be most welcome . Cheers John :-) |

| Hi John The seed companies in Australia have seeds for a Jap pumpkin which I think is the one available in the supermarkets. You can import pumpkin and squash seed from overseas, as long as the botanical name is on the packet. See Rays thread on importing seeds. I would look at some of the US websites, as they have pictures of the vegetable and you can identify them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: kabocha

| Hi Merc, Thanks for that link I found one on that site called Hokkori F1 I reckon that may be the one I'm looking for. Cheers John :-) |

| Hi Guys I have seed of Kabocha I do not know if it is a Hybrid but it very well know by Japanese people and I suspect that it is open pollinated (I might be wrong)....It is grown in very large quantities down here for export to Japan It is a very nice pumpkin to eat (quite dry and sweet) and quite smallish for a pumpkin (15-25cm round with rough dark green skin Email me if you want any seeds cheers Peter PS nice to be back |
