Diana starts with ... Rampicante Italian heirloom climbing zucchini flower and 2 day old fruit. How big is it going to get!? Good value! It is also coping well with the very wet wet season in Brisbane at the moment. The leaves are normal-sized zucchini leaves.

echinopora says... Most of the gourds/cucuzzi/tromboncino are best eaten rather small and most varieties will become monsterous if you let them grow. I like them at 40cm or so. They are prolific so in the end you don't seem to get less fruit from the plant picking them small, just fewer aborted flowers/fruit. There was a new guinea bean down the road that had gotten to the top of a palm tree and set what could easily have been a 6 foot long fruit. | About the Author terranora 14th January 2015 3:22pm #UserID: 10023 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... Thithi these are delicious, tender and sweet. I really recommend this plant to Brisbane people- normally I have trouble with lack of pollination and aborted fruit, mildew, water stress etc with zucchini in summer here, but this one has none of those problems and it's like having several zucchinis it's so big. I think it does not make sense to say eat it at 40cm. This bud is nearly 40cm and the flower hasn't even opened yet.
