Description: This fruit is the accidental cross of two Cucurbita pepo varieties. An acorn squash (C. pepo var. turbinata) was apparently pollinated with pollen from a zucchini (C. pepo var. cylindrica), probably a Black Beauty dark green zucchini. I saved seeds from a fruit of the acorn squash plant. The saved seeds produced these fruit (5 or 6). The "acchini" are 8 inches long and about 4 lbs. in weight, with hard skins and slight sweetness.
