Zucchini, a favorite of many gardeners, is a relative of pumpkin. The vegetable has a whole complex of vitamins and excellent taste. However, the highly weaving varieties presented some difficulty in growing this plant, especially in small areas. Today, in many vegetable gardens, there is a bush marrow with compact lashes. What is this plant and, what are the varieties now we will analyze it.

The main differences between bush zucchini

Most often, it is customary to plant zucchini in open beds in order to save space in the greenhouse for other crops. Varieties for open ground should have a large bush with powerful leaves that are resistant to hail blows and various pests. It is important that the zucchini is endowed with good immunity against common diseases. Plants must withstand all bad weather conditions and at the same time bear tasty fruits. A good example of bush varieties is "Gribovskie 37", "Kuand", "Zolotinka", "Chaklun".

Many varieties stand out among bush plants, but when choosing zucchini seeds for your garden, you need to pay attention to the following indicators:

  • In order for the plant to grow well and bear fruit, the variety must correspond to the climatic zone. Zucchini, like cucumbers, is a heat-loving vegetable, but cold-tolerant varieties exist.
  • The culture is grown for human consumption. Here the vegetable is subdivided into fruits intended for preservation and preparation of fresh vegetable dishes.
  • As for the taste, the zucchini shines with its variety. Fruits come in different hardness of pulp, less or more juicy, without seeds or with them. Here, every gardener chooses a vegetable according to his preferences.
  • It is important to pay attention to yield. Naturally, the more the plant bears fruit, the better the variety is. However, this indicator is directly related to the purpose of the squash. If the fruits are used for animal feed, then its taste is not important, the main thing is that there is a large yield. For eating, bad zucchini will not work, so for the sake of taste, you can give up the yield.
  • The fruiting period for a good plant should be long, and according to the ripening period, zucchini are divided, like all crops, into early, middle and late ones.

It is optimal to grow several bush varieties of zucchini in the garden. This will allow you to regulate the ripening time, increase the variety for the intended purpose and get fruits with different taste quality.

The difference between bush zucchini for imported and domestic selection

On the shelves of seed shops, you can find many imported and domestic varieties. Which zucchini to give preference to the owner, and for clarity, let's find out their differences:

  • Bush squash of domestic varieties have only one plus - cold resistance... Although, if we take some varieties of foreign selection, then they are not inferior in this indicator. Domestic breeders are a little behind with the development of new varieties, so there is not much to choose from.
  • Zucchini of foreign varieties surpass domestic counterparts in yield.Among them, you can choose a vegetable that is suitable in taste and purpose. However, such an overseas zucchini requires strict adherence to the cultivation technology.... At the slightest non-observance of the conditions, the plant reduces the yield, begins to hurt and gradually dies. The fruits of imported varieties are distinguished by their excellent presentation, which does not change during long-term storage.

To compare imported with domestic varieties of zucchini, it is important to pay attention to such an indicator as overripe.

Attention! Many gardeners know that a zucchini not removed from the bush in time will go only for animal feed in a couple of days. This picture is characteristic of all domestic varieties.

Many imported hybrids can leave fruits on the plant for a long time, without deteriorating taste.
