marrow 'Shooting Star'

An unusual and recently introduced climbing courgette, producing stems up to 1.2m (4ft) high when grown on a support and 60cm (2ft across. Glossy, golden yellow fruits first appear early in the season and then continue to do so over a very long period, from June to October, as long as the developing fruits are regularly picked. The bright yellow flowers are attractive to pollinating insects and can also be picked and used in cooking.
