This bush type hybrid summer squash produces egg-shaped fruits, 10-15 cm x 10 cm in size and 200-250 grams in weight, with light green skin and tiny green stripes. This varietity is suitable for growing from early spring through summer. The plant is very productive, bearing lots of femal flowers and fruits after 50 days from sowing. High quality squash is very delicious, excellent for stir fry and soup.
