ZUCCA HYBRID F1 IRON CAP - 1487
Late hybrid, vigorous and very productive. The dark green, slightly ribbed and mottled fruits are almost round in shape, slightly flattened at the ends. The flesh is sweet and very pleasant to eat, the fruit has a long shelf life and is extremely resistant to high temperatures. The plant has a thick, vigorous shoot with an expanding habit, and female flowers form every 5-7 nodes on the lateral branches. Since the squash does not produce enough pollen, it is recommended to intercrop every 10 IRON CAP plants with a BUTTERNUT plant for pollination purposes.
