Cucurbita moschata
Also known as Zucchetta Rampicante, Zucchino Rampicante or Climbing Zucchini, Tromboncino is an interesting dual-purpose heirloom squash grown predominantly for use as a summer squash. Vining plants produce light green squash with long, curved necks that, when harvested young contain tender, green interiors that can be used just like zucchini. Young Tromboncino squash have a mildly sweet flavor, and are delicious whether sautéed, fried, roasted or grilled. Mature Tromboncino squash have a flavor similar to a butternut, although they are a little less sweet. We find that the mature squash work best as an accent ingredient, for example in squash risotto, rather than as a standalone dish. Trombonci... More

We find that the mature squash work best as an accent ingredient, for example in squash risotto, rather than as a standalone dish. Tromboncino is a great option for gardeners with squash borer issues as the semi-solid stems make them more tolerant of sap sucking insects when compared to zucchini and other C. pepo summer squash varieties. Their climbing nature also makes them a great choice for gardeners wanting to grow zucchini vertically and maximize the square footage of their gardens. 60 days to maturity for summer squash. 90 days for winter squash. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.

Probably the best thing I ever grew in my 30+ years of gardening. Such lovely squash....when young and green they are like a zucchini but without all the seeds and much sweeter. Then they mature to these massive crook-neck type squash with flavor reminiscent of a butternut squash. They last in the basement for weeks and weeks. Had a giant one for Thanksgiving. Like I said....best thing I ever grew.
Delivered in less than a week, lovely packaging, can't wait to start growing these beauties.
I grew Tromboncino squash for the first time this past growing season. I planted two plants along the backside of my arched cattle panel trellis that I use for cucumbers and tomatoes. The two plants grew like nothing I have ever seen in gardening. They vined every direction possible and even left the trellis in a few places to grow with the pepper plants that were in 65 gal grow bags. After they bloomed and light green squash began to grow at amazing rates I picked my first one about 18” long and sautéed it with onion for lunch after a long morning of gardening. I was delighted with its delicious flavor and texture. I will no longer plant yellow squash and zucchini because this plants is much more productive and is not phased by stink bugs or vine bores. I harvested over 25 swuash from each plant either as large summer squash or huge winter squash. I gave away squah to all my friends and neighbors and they all liked it too as a summer squash. I left the rest in early September to develop into winter squash and some were over 4 feet long and weight several pounds. So in conclusion iif you wsnt to grow alot of food quick and easy here you go grow tis squash.
