ZUCCHINI GOLD RUSH

A member of the cucurbit family. Long cylindrical fruit borne on a prostrate vine. Requires full sun, plenty of organic material added to the soil and good watering regime. Keep roots covered with mulch. Frost and cold sensitive. Planting in pairs usually removes the need for hand pollination that may be needed if plants are not setting fruit (Male and female flowers occur on the same plant.)

Gold Rush is a little less vigorous and prolific than its green skinned cousin which makes it ideal for smaller gardens and or containers. Best planted in pairs to assist with pollination. Fruit should start to set about 50 days
