Cocozelle Zucchini Summer Squash

I will always grow this squash because of these 3 things: - Firstly, it's the only summer squash I have grown that survives the squash borer attacks. It makes multiple crowns, and the squash borer can't get to all of them before the Squash borer's short life cycle is over. - Secondly, it's delicious!!! While zucchini can sometimes have a spongy texture, Cocozelle is nice and firm and has a slightly nutty flavor. - Thirdly, it's beautiful!!! It has yellow and green striping and a slight ridging. I highly recommend this one.

A planted two hills of this zucchini and had more than plenty fruit for my family. Very tasty variety.

I have 2 of these plants and they are very hearty. The zucchinis are flavorful when small or large. I've used them for grilling, stir fry, noodles, and bread all with excellent results. Even those I let get larger (around 14) were dense and had very little seeds.

This squash is germinated next to our wood stove mid April, and placed in a south window to grow until it is planted outside the first week of June. (frost danger before that date) It transplants like a champ and thrives even at our high 7000 ft altitude. The flavor is wonderful on the grill, baked, in zucchini bread, whatever you desire. This is a very hearty plant that has to withstand cold winds, and cooler evenings, yet it still produces more than my family can eat. When given a choice between regular green zucchini or yellow zucchini my neighbors grab the Cocozelle first! Its a staple in our high mountain garden every year.

I grew three plants in 2015. I had never grown squash before but had heard the harvests can be overwhelming. I had thought three plants would be manageable but oh my was I wrong. We could not eat or give them away before they reached over a foot in length. I think my mistake was from the beginning not picking them at the recommended 6 to 8 inches. Bigger is not better, pick early and often!! I had one plant travel over six feet in my garden! So be warned, they need their space. That being said, both my celery and leeks did quite well in close proximity. Looking forward to growing again with the knowledge of last season in hand.

This is a super zucchini! The first time I have grown them. I will forever grow them every year with joyful anticipation. Delicious at any size, we had whoppers up to 3 pounds measuring over 12 inches. We usually have problems with squash vine borers in the spring. No exception this year. These vines however are so tough that although we had extensive damage, the little pests were not able to substantially damage or kill any of the vines. The store bought varieties available locally would have been dead long before I pulled and composted these still capable but chewed up vines. Looking forward to the fall crop. Tough! Love em, thanks Victory!

Simply an incredible product. Can be picked early like most Zucchini types. We find it's best flavor and usability well above standard sizes, and our customers agree. Best flavor is in fruits of 12 to 16 inches. Prolific even in years of extreme heat, or very late cold. We have been growing and selling this product for years and it is simply a perennial with our customer, who come back year after year just for this squash.
