Green Tiger F1

Season Overview

Description

F1 hybrid. Particularly tasty green fruits with white stripes. Best harvested young. Flowers are edible. Compact, upright growth. High yielding. Robust. Germination after 1-2 weeks at min. 12°C.

Growing tips

Keeping warm with compost or black mulch film after planting out helps growth. Harden off before planting out. Likes warm, sheltered locations. Sensitive to frost. Several plants pollinate each other. Harvest regularly to ensure that new fruits continue to form. Fertilize and water regularly. Observe crop rotation. Home-grown zucchini seeds are strongly discouraged because they can produce the toxic bitter substance cucurbitacin. Mixed cultivation with borage promotes pollination. Pumpkins and zucchinis of the same species can cross-pollinate, making zucchinis bitter and inedible or poisonous (due to so-called curcurbitacins).
