Overview
Wood's Prolific is an heirloom pattypan grown on short vines. Compared with the common bush scallops, its white fruit is smaller and thicker, with shallower scalloping, so it looks a little more like a thick disc than a fluted saucer. Treat it as a standard scallop squash: pick small and often for tender flesh.
