Overview
Green Machine is an extra-early F1 hybrid zucchini that a seed company trial pitted against the market standard Raven in 2019: it began bearing 7 to 10 days sooner and out-yielded Raven roughly four to one over the season. The fruit is medium-dark green and shiny, with mild, nutty, dense flesh. The plant is not spineless, but its open habit and wide branch spacing let you pull fruit quickly without scratching it. Disease resistance is a strong point, with intermediate resistance to cucumber mosaic virus, watermelon mosaic virus, zucchini yellow mosaic virus, and powdery mildew.
