Overview
Tigress is a Harris hybrid zucchini (HMX 3711, 1994) whose main selling point is a three-way virus package: resistance to watermelon mosaic virus 2, zucchini yellow mosaic virus, and papaya ringspot virus. That combination keeps plants productive in gardens where aphid-spread viruses normally shut zucchini down by late summer. The plants are vigorous and high yielding, and the fruit is smooth, medium green, long and cylindrical; pick at 7 to 8 inches. It is close to Elite in type and performs the same everyday role in the kitchen.
