A beautiful, dramatically ribbed squash of antiquity that has been prominently depicted in late Maya period art, it remains a delicious staple in its native region. Long vines produce flattened fruit appearing in tones ranging from green to deep yellow. The most delicious fruit is harvested when young and thin-skinned; however, it can be allowed to mature to a tasty and very ornamental pumpkin (the mature fruits average just under 2 pounds apiece). This ancient variety is depicted in late Maya pottery and was featured on a major Maya archeology website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guicoy squash, a winter variety, grows best in warm, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
