Green Z

Green Z is a zucchini heirloom hybrid braid of some of the best emerald, smooth skin, and productive zucchini over the years. The European heirloom Swiss ford hook crossed to the classic Black Beauty. Selections then were interplanted amongst the famous modern-day hybrid Dunja. Intense selective pressure preserves only the strongest plants amongst the garden plot. The resistant specimens chosen under stinky squash bug families, cucumber beetle (striped and spotted) plus various leaf hoppers, and the infamous, and awfully destructive vine borer. While not immune to the Vine borer, survivors fruit and seeds were set amongst the dead Zucchini, leading me to believe I can select for smells and pheromones over the years to increase resilience. Increase production by staggering planting so male flowers sequence coincide with later female flowers to improve pollination for increased yields. Green Z makes lasagna better! Green Z produces uniform and tender large squash for slicing, dicing, mandolins, and noodle making. This is an heirloom hybrid braid, where seasonally additional improvements widen Green Z gene pool resulting in constant vigor.
