Overview
Tivoli is a bush spaghetti squash from Sakata that won AAS in 1991 for fitting full-size spaghetti squash onto a 16-inch-tall plant spreading about 56 inches, instead of the usual sprawling vines. Fruit is blocky oblong with a yellow rind, and the cooked flesh forks into the familiar strands; the official description notes the fruit matches long-vine spaghetti types and that the plant may throw short runners. Direct sow (transplanting not recommended) at 2 to 3 ft; about 100 days from seed. Field tolerant to downy mildew. Harvest when the rind is yellow and hard.
