Breeding history

Description of the variety

Drakosha is a bush type plant. The zucchini bush is characterized by moderate branching of branches, medium foliage with green foliage with dissected ends, shortened internodes. A distinctive feature is the uniform color of the leaves without light blotches, as well as the compactness of the bush, which is not prone to overgrowth. During the flowering period, light yellow flowers of a predominantly female type appear on the bushes.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and fruits

The early Drakosha variety belongs to the large-fruited class. Vegetables grow neat and aligned. On average, the mass of zucchini ranges from 600 grams to a kilogram. The length of the fruits reaches 15 cm, and the diameter is 8 cm. Ripe zucchini are endowed with an unusual color - dark green, sometimes they are black and green. The shape of the vegetable is elongated-cylindrical. Sometimes zucchini take on a slightly arcuate-cylindrical shape.

The surface of the vegetable marrow is smooth, shiny, with slight ribbing, but without other irregularities. The peel is characterized by its thinness, strength and elasticity, due to which ripened vegetables can tolerate transportation and can be stored for a long time in a cool and dry place. For long-term keeping quality, neatly cut specimens are suitable.

Purpose and taste

Drakosh zucchini are famous for their high taste. The light beige pulp has a dense, tender, juicy pulp without fiber or voids. The taste of the vegetable is balanced, slightly tender and oily. The inside of the pulp contains a small amount of medium-sized creamy seeds.

To prevent vegetables from overripe, it is recommended to harvest them every 3-4 days. The most delicious specimens are considered to be up to 14-15 cm long.

Growing and care

Planting is carried out according to the standard scheme for zucchini - 70x70 cm. The seeds are buried in the soil by 4-5 cm. Tomatoes, cabbage, radishes and carrots are good predecessors for Drakosha zucchini.
