Latino Summer Squash

Cucurbita pepo 55 days. A distinguished Romanesco-type squash with attractive, dark and light green striping on ridged fruit. Cutting the fruit in rounds reveals its signature, star-shaped cross-section and light, creamy green flesh. Crisp and flavorful, Latino has just a hint of nuttiness. Pick when fruit are at their prime, about 6–8 inches long. Open bushes allow for easy spotting and harvesting of the squash.
