Vigorous, LARGE, plant. Excellent yield and quite tasty. Watch carefully as the fruits will attain monstrous size overnight! Plants held-up well in summer heat. Unexpectedly large plant. It took over the garden!

Lehigh, Pennsylvania, United States
Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

Large, vigorous plant. Relatively spineless leaf-stems for easy picking. Good yield (I counted around 40 squashes from my one plant between late June and early September). Very nice flavor and texture. Flavor and texture isn't as good as two others I tried this year (Costata Romanesco and Lebanese White Bush), but it's a very good and reliable zucchini.
