Tromboncino Rampicante Climbing Summer Squash
25 Seeds
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. Plants produce long, curved necks that, when harvested young contain tender, green interiors that can be used just like zucchini. Young squash have a mildly sweet flavor, and are delicious whether sautéed, fried, roasted or grilled. Mature 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. 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. 60 days to maturity for summer squash. 90 days for winter squash. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
