Black Zucchini

Description

(50 days) Open-pollinated. A misnomer as Black Zucchini is not as dark as Raven but instead dark green. Perfect for home gardeners who are looking for an open-pollinated zucchini with superior flavor, but who don’t require record-breaking yields. Also popular among some commercial growers. Brought from California in 1931 by the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. of Cambridge, NY. Fruits of greenish-white firm tender flesh with small seed cavities are best picked around 6″. The flavor was well above average in our taste tests. Open plant habit makes picking relatively easy.
