Several years agi i used males from a Mombert 567.5 Plant to pollinate a
Female on a Butternut Squash Female. This pollination was controlled and no
other Male pollen could gain access to the Female. I harvested around 50 very
good full Seeds from the Butternut once it had grown to it's full potential
and had ripened. Although i have not tried any of these Seeds i do believe
that they would germinate but as to what the resultant Fruit would look like
and Weigh is completely unknown.
