Know before you buy
Parthenocarpic means this zucchini variety can set fruit without needing to be pollinated by bees or other insects. This makes it a highly reliable producer, even in gardens where pollinator activity might be low.
You can expect to harvest your first zucchini approximately 50 days after planting. This quick maturity time makes it an excellent choice for a fast-turnaround crop.
No, the Easypick Gold II is specifically bred to be nearly spine-free. This makes the plant much more comfortable to handle and harvest compared to traditional, pricklier zucchini varieties.
This hybrid has intermediate resistance to Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRV), Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV), and Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus (ZYMV). These resistances help the plant stay healthy and productive throughout the growing season.
These seeds thrive in full sun with soil temperatures between 65–85°F. Plant them at a depth of 1–1 ½ inches, placing 3–4 seeds per hill for the best results.
When stored in a cool, dry place, these seeds remain viable for 3–4 years. Always check the germination rate, which is a minimum of 75% for this variety, if you are planting older seeds.
