A 1985 introduction from Burpee. (50 day) A golden yellow hybrid crookneck. Grows well, very productive, early just a day or so behind Sunglo. Both the fruits and the plants are smaller than most crooknecks. I prefer larger cultivars but this one really kicks out the fruit and would be ideal for anyone worried about space.
