| Beautiful, productive, firm yellow zucchini. At first I was concerned about the silvery patterns on the leaves, but found that these variegated leaves are normal for this plant. I will grow these again! |

| I have grown this for several years but I will try others instead this season because the yield is very low compared to other varieties. The fruits are zucchini shaped and a beautiful deep rich yellow but the yields are just not there. |

| This variety was not the highest producer, but it produced nicely and was enough. Aristocrat produced what two plants of gold rush did. But the taste is wonderful as is the color/texture. |

| This is the best tasting Zucchini of the three we've grown this year. The flavor is milder than the two green zucchini varieties we grew. The plants also do not spread as much as the the others so you can plant them closer to other plants. They yeilded slightly less squash than the other but we still got several off of each plant. Very easy to grow, no problems, planted seeds directly in garden and watered. |
