Notes

'Tromboncino' squash (Cucurbita 'Tromboncino') is a vegetable vine for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer and takes about 80 days to mature. It is open-pollinated, so you can save seed.

Pairs well with Celeriac, Garlic, and Clemson Spineless okra.
