"This brand new bright yellow zucchini has extremely good yields, as it keeps developing fruit for a prolonged harvest. It is easy to hand-harvest from a sparse, open plant. The fruit has a very small blossom end scar and no greening around scar. What finally won us over was a grower report that Stardust is very stable in cold storage, with much less damage than competing varieties. " Osborne
