Long white zucchini from Sicily. Light green (almost white) fruit. Will grow quite long (8-10 inches) and stay thin. Some ribbing when large but none when small. Very early good producer with very good taste. It is a bit of a runner, so space them at four feet or so. 8 gram pack. Approximately 2-10 seeds per gram.

Allison Fedyk By far my favorite! Holds its shape well when cooked, and it does not generate a lot of liquid in the pan like the more traditional American zucchini do. The flavor is better and excellent for that matter. Mild and sweeter. I grow in Rochester NY and do not use a drip line, rain only. Mildew is not an issue. Our challenge is preventing squash vine borer. This Zucchino is the least favorite of this pest. Also, there is so much zucchini grown in backyard gardens around me you cannot give it away. People sigh a thank you when you leave a loaf of zucchini bread. This zucchino is so good people regularly ask me if I have any to share.

Katherine This is my favorite zucchini to grow. I really like the flavor, which is mild, and the seeds tend to stay small. It is not as prolific as regular zucchini and I think that is a good thing! Starts out very robust but does tend to succumb to powdery mildew late in the season, but all the squash here get that by Sept or Oct. My garden is in the San Francisco Bay Area, warm-ish days, cool nights, no rain, drip irrigation. I would give it 5 stars if it resisted the powdery mildew a bit more.
