I put a cage around my cucumber plants and it enables them to sent ouf runnrs and climb. Do Zucchini plants also climb?

I think it depends on the variety of zucchini. Some are considered to be of the bush variety, others grow on a vine. I have grown both and trellised the vine variety quite well. This leaves alot of room to grow other things. I have also grown squash like that too....just make sure to tie up or support the fruit if it is a type that grows larger sized fruit.
