Harvested young, the pale green fruits have firm, tender flesh with a mild, slightly nutty flavour and can be used anywhere you would use zucchini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrown for generations in Italy, particularly in the north, Tromboncino is unusual in that it can serve as both a summer and winter squash. Young fruits are excellent grilled, sautéed, roasted or sliced into pasta dishes, while fruits left to mature develop a tan skin and denser flesh and can be stored and cooked much like a butternut squash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the bush habit of most zucchini, Tromboncino grows as a vigorous climbing vine and benefits from a strong trellis or other substantial support. As a \u003cem\u003eCucurbita moschata\u003c\/em\u003e, it performs particularly well in warm, humid conditions and generally shows good resilience to many of the pest and disease pressures that can trouble other zucchini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 8 seeds per packet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: March–September\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: August–February\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: September–January\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: October–December, after frost risk has passed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 2–3 cm deep directly where plants are to grow once the soil has warmed, or start indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting.

Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and maintain consistent moisture, particularly during flowering and fruit development.
