Overview
Gentry is a Rogers Seed hybrid semi-crookneck, meaning the neck is only slightly bent, which makes the fruit easier to pack and cook than a full crookneck. Fruit is butter yellow, smooth, about 5.5 inches, with a small blossom scar. The vigorous bush has few spines and yields heavily, and it keeps setting fruit in high heat, which is why it is adapted to the eastern and southeastern U.S.
