Is this variety considered an heirloom?

Asked by John

It is not an heirloom. Discus Bush was introduced in 1991.



It is however open pollinated. It is not a hybrid. You can save the seeds from the squash and plant them next year.



Note that Discus Bush is a bush-type of plant (hence the name). Instead of sending vines straight across the ground like the older heirloom version, the vines curl around and make compact bushes.
