Sow in pots at a temperature of between 18 and 20°C, 2 to 3 weeks before planting. Transplant, with the root ball, into the ground, after the last frosts, at a distance of at least 2 m in all directions. For sowing directly into the ground, sow after the last frosts, once the soil has warmed up. In both cases, prepare holes filled with compost or organic matter two weeks in advance to accommodate your plants or seeds.

"Semences de Kokopelli" by Dominique Guillet
Named in honor of the Ponca Native American people, this variety was developed by Dermot P. Coyne of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. It is the result of a cross between "New Hamsphire Butternut" and "Butternut 23".
