Overview

Lungo Bianco di Sicilia, or Long White Sicilian, is a very early Italian zucchini with fruit so pale green they read as nearly white. Fruit are thin and best cut at 8 to 10 inches; larger ones develop some ribbing. The vines sprawl, so allow space or guide them along a bed edge. Its earliness makes it useful for the first squash of the season.
