Medallion is a yellow gem squash which is ideal for use as a baby vegetable. Medallion has a bush type plant and the plants are very strong and vigorous. It gives exceptional yields over a long growing period. The fruit is very attractive with a beautiful, bright yellow colour. The firmness of the fruit prevents it from scarring easily. First fruits are harvestable at about 40 – 45 days after transplant. Medallion can be used as a replacement for the yellow patty pan, which is well known in the South African market, as it has superior taste and the plants are much stronger, making it less susceptible to diseases. It also presents very well when packed on a punnet together with the more familiar green baby gem.
