Cucuzza means "very long" and that's just how this squash's fruits grow within a matter of days once they're on the go. It's a summer squash variety that grows a mile a minute, so chances are, you'll need a trellis to support it. Try to get the fruit when they're about 20cm long. They're edible when they're bigger: try roasting the older fruits and enjoy the tender flesh under the skin.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Squashes need warm soil to germinate, so start in pots if you want to get a head start. Your seeds are planted 1cm deep, and give each plant 100cm between it and its neighbour.

    How to Harvest

    When the stems start to dry out, you'll know your squash is ready to harvest. The skin should be too hard to scratch with a fingernail.
