Reviews of zucchini yellow Banana F1
Olga, 45 years old, Moscow city
When buying, I was attracted by the funny name of this zucchini. I planted seeds in open ground, after germinating. I have no special tricks, everything is as always: I put the seeds in shallow holes and lightly covered them with earth. In my past plantings, it happened that not all planted seeds germinated. But this variety was pleasantly surprised - everything sprouted. The bushes grew strong, none of them bent. Zucchini were tied at once in 5-6 pieces. I liked young zucchini better for my taste. Overgrown fruits, in my opinion, are not so tasty. I can recommend this strain, if only for the sake of experiment.

A neighbor told me about this variety. Her grandson, the same age as my youngest son, is eating them like hot cakes. They, as it turned out, are very useful for children. I decided to plant it at my place. I bought seeds, they sprouted well, fruits set. But then powdery mildew struck the leaves. Although it was written on the seed packet that the variety is resistant to diseases. This, of course, did not affect the fruits, but the sediment remained. Since the children fell in love with them for their taste and cheerful yellow color, I will plant more. But now I will immediately treat diseases, and not wait until they appear.

Well, delicious zucchini! My whole family loves them. And I won't talk about color at all, and so everything is clear. Sprout well, like any other zucchini. But I have never had such a large yield, which is indicated on the package with seeds. I bought different companies, but the result is the same. But, nevertheless, I definitely recommend the variety.
