Nectar is a sister variety to Beja with more uniform fruits and vigorous plants. The fruits, which change color from dark green to ocher, weigh about 2 kg and contain the popular, darker flesh with a higher carotene content.

Like the other dark butternuts, Nectar requires warmth and thrives reliably with pre-cultivation and planting in warm locations.
