Mid-early, productive climbing courgette suitable for cultivation on trellises, fences or walls. The shoots, which can grow up to 5 m long, should be tied up; side shoots can be removed as needed. With regular harvesting, dark green, flavourful fruits develop throughout the summer, reaching a length of 20–25 cm. Healthy growth; powdery mildew, if it occurs at all, appears only late in the season.
Spacing: 60 × 60 cm
