Tromboncino Curcubita moschata (60 days summer squash/ 90 days winter squash) This is a highly unique classic Italian heirloom squash that can be harvested young as a rich, full-flavored summer squash which is much preferred to traditional zucchini by many Italians who call it "zucchini rampicante". Harvested at 8-12" long, it is delicious roasted, grilled, grated raw into salads or stuffed in ravioli. It can also be left to mature as a long keeping winter squash.
