Caserta (Heirloom, Open Pollinated, 65 days) produces beautiful, light greenish-grey zucchini with alternate, darker green stripes. Creamy, dense flesh with excellent flavor. These zucchini can be harvested larger than most varieties. Harvest at 12-16" ( cm), just after the bottoms start bulbing. One of our favorites! And it grows on compact, bushy plants suitable for small gardens and containers. High yielding for an heirloom zucchini variety.
50 days 'Caserta' is a prolific, early, bush, cocozelle-type summer squash. It produces cylindrical, slightly tapered, fruits that have creamy flesh and skins that are light-green with dark-green stripes. Best harvested at four to six inches in length which also helps to encourage more growth and productivity.
As with any summer squash, you can harvest them at just about any size. We prefer them at the young and tender stage when they are excellent lightly steamed, sautéed, or stir-fried.
