Overall Taste Yield Ease	Pulaski, Virginia, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Very prolific on a rather compact plant. The fruit shape is something between a long zucchini and a round variety, with color varying between light green and nearly-white. I picked the fruits at hen’s egg size. The plants were extremely productive, (despite being attacked by Groundhogs and Squash Vine Borers).
