Winter Vine. An outstanding winter vegetable, easy to grow and prolific. Golden Hubbard is similar to other Hubbard varieties, but this one is brightly colored with flesh that is vibrantly orange. Thick skin, sweet, and excellent tasting. Delicious in pies or cut into serving size pieces to be baked, steamed, broiled or mashed. More productive than other Hubbards because of its slightly smaller fruits.
