Overview
Aristocrat took a 1973 All-America Selections award for pairing a compact, space-saving bush with dark green fruit whose consistent color and shape the open-pollinated zucchini of its day could not match. The cylindrical fruit grows upright on the plant, which makes picking easy; harvest at 6 to 7 inches before the skin toughens. Plants stay under 2 feet tall, a practical size for raised beds and small plots. Water deeply every few days rather than lightly every day to keep production steady in hot spells. Still sold by mainstream catalogs decades on.
