Also known as zucchini rampicante although this plant is a Cucurbita moschata, unlike other zucchinis. Tender, mild, sweet and nutty when harvested as summer squash at 8–12". Fantastic flavor, it is delicious steamed, grilled or sliced raw in salad. Italians use it in gnocchi and to stuff ravioli. When the green-tan fruits grow very long, they are good baked as winter squash. As might be inferred from its alias, its vines are rampant and should be trellised. Harden off and plant outside once night time temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees. Can be grown in the ground or in a container, but can become unwieldy in a container. Ideally containers should be at least 3 gallons in size and should have enough space around them for the plants overflow. 52 days to harvest.
