This is my favorite green zucchini. It has a tender skin, even if you let the fruit get a bit too big, and it always has a nice texture when cooked, not at all mealy. Mild flavor complements many other flavors. I like to prepare it with golden zucchini for a colorful side dish.

Most resistant to vine borer of all zucchinis I've grown. I can usually harvest black zucchinis for two to three weeks after my goldens have died.

A very pretty dark green cylindrical zucchini. It is not prolific under my conditions. There are dozens that produce better.
