Sorry that I don't have one to recommend, Bill, but I'm still searching, too. I agree that it's really frustrating when companies discontinue a winner without seeming to have found a better variety to offer in its place. I'll be watching this thread in hopes that someone has found a favorite because I've tried at least one yellow zucchini for years without finding a keeper. 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.
