This doesn’t grow like regular bush squash- this one shoots up more like a vine. Two plants just bent over and split - I think it grows better staked. The female flowers have tiny yellow babies right from the start. Don’t pick these off thinking they are dead fruit like some squash that turn when they are not growing properly. Pick them often when they are still shiny or just turning so more grow. These are beautiful and tasty summer squash!

Bought a plant at a local organic nursery last year, it was a fantastic producer in upstate NY, giving a constant supply of numerous fruits all season! Seed is difficult to find, consider saving your own.
