conditions. Alessandra is recommended for summer-fall production, especially in areas with<br />

high virus pressure.<br />

Yellowfin<br />

Yellowfin has a brilliant color that will shine in market displays. The vibrant yellow squashes pair<br />

beautifully with green zucchinis, and have a buttery, delicate eating quality. Powdery Mildew<br />

(Px) and Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) resistant. Yellowfin is the only organic yellow zucchini<br />

on the market with this resistance package.<br />

Alessandra<br />

Desert<br />

Desert produces dark green uniform fruits that set well in cool conditions, with a low<br />

percentage of aborted fruits. Open, compact plants allow for easy harvest. We chose this<br />

variety’s name because of its impressive tolerance to drought stress. In field trials, Desert has<br />

shown strong tolerance to Powdery Mildew (Px) in fall plantings, offering organic growers<br />

opportunity for late season planting.<br />

Resistances: IR: Px/CMV/ZYMV/WMV/PRSV<br />

Romanesco zucchini<br />

Cassia<br />

Introducing our new hybrid romanesco zucchini. Vigorous, open, upright plants are highly<br />

uniform and productive, even in low fertility environments. Cassia does well in cooler<br />

conditions, and is especially well-suited for spring production in tunnels or open field. Fruits are<br />

straight with grey-green ribbing. Attractive, yellow blossoms adhere well to the fruit and make<br />

for vibrant, unique market displays.<br />

medium dark green fruits with light flecking. Across the East Coast and Midwest, Green<br />

Machine has been a top yielder in summer trials. It has intermediate resistance to Px, CMV,<br />

ZYMV and WMV.<br />

Kopana<br />

Kopana is a dark green zucchini selected for high tunnel production in the spring. Plants are<br />

vigorous, while maintaining a compact, open, well-balanced habit. Fruits are shiny, slightly<br />

speckled and have a typical tapered shape. Selected to set fruit under cool conditions, Kopana<br />

works best in the presence of some natural pollinators. With strong yields and an upright habit,<br />

this variety will produce uniform, high quality fruits for the early market.<br />
