The losers for me have been: Burpee Golden Zucchini, Goldbar, Golden Dawn, Golden Glory, Golden Zebra, Gold Rush, Parador, Soleil and Tristan. Compared with the green zukes grown, they were all later, much less productive and died a quicker death- just not worth the space.

Ones that I'm considering for this year (before new catalogs have arrived) are Gourmet Gold, Butta, Golden Arrow, Goldmine and Yellow Fin- all hybrids. If anyone has had experience with them and can give feedback regarding Bill's criteria, it would be appreciated.

Kath thank you for that long list of yellow zucchinis not to waste money on. I can only give you the dog I used last year called Burpee's Golden Zucchini. The wait between squash developing was ridiculously long and production was pitiful. When full summer heat got here they just quit making when Butter Stick would ordinarily be in maximum production.
