A unique hybrid, the zucchini pumpkin combines the compact size and prolificacy of zucchini with the sweet, dense flesh of pumpkin. Developed at the University of California, Davis, the zucchini pumpkin features a compact vine habit, making it ideal for small gardens or containers. Its fruit is round or cylindrical, with a deep orange-yellow hue that resembles a pumpkin. Its sweet, fine-grained flesh can be used in both savory and sweet dishes, offering culinary versatility and a distinct blend of flavors.
