Zucchini ‘Nitro’ F1 (Cucurbita pepo)

Nitro is astonishingly productive and with its good resistance to powdery mildew will produce excellent flavoured fruits right up to the end of April when other varieties have long succumbed to powdery mildew. A superb virus and mildew resistant variety for a long harvest of dark green cyclindrical fruits with a great taste.
