Overview
Cue Ball completes the billiard trio with Eight Ball and One Ball: a hybrid round zucchini with pale green skin mottled white, milder in color and flavor than its dark green sibling. The open, upright bush keeps the golf-ball to baseball-sized fruit visible; pick at 2 to 3 inches across, because round fruit hides in foliage and swells fast in heat. It resists zucchini yellow mosaic virus as well as watermelon mosaic virus, useful in humid gardens where aphids spread both. The compact plant suits raised beds where a vining squash would overrun the space. Direct sow after frost once soil is warm.
