Spaghetti squash or vegetable spaghetti is a group of cultivars of Cucurbita pepo subsp. pepo. [3] They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours, including ivory, yellow and orange, with orange having the highest amount of carotene. Its center contains many large seeds. When raw, the flesh is solid and similar to other raw squash.
Cucurbita palmata is a sprawling vine with rough, stiff-haired stems and leaves. The dark green, light-veined leaves are sharply palmate with usually five long triangular points. These vines spring up from a perennial tuber weighing up to two hundred pounds ( 91 kilograms). [5] The stiff, curling yellow flowers are 6 to 8 centimeters wide.
For this reason, it is considered a pest that attacks cultivated varieties of squash, zucchini, pumpkin, and acorn squash. The squash vine borer is native to North America, with some reports as far south as Brazil and Argentina. [2] It lives in most temperate North American states, except the Pacific coast. Southern states have two broods a year.
Many species have large, yellow or white flowers. The stems are hairy and pentangular. Tendrils are present at 90° to the leaf petioles at nodes. Leaves are exstipulate, alternate, simple palmately lobed or palmately compound. The flowers are unisexual, with male and female flowers on different plants or on the same plant .
