Description

The easiest way to identify the Astra Polka zucchini is by its medium-sized leaves with distinctive, silvery spots. Plants often grow wide and develop into thick bushes. The fruits are club-shaped and can be recognized by the dark hue of the skin.

The recommended length of zucchini is 18 to 22 centimeters for consumption. They have a light, creamy color inside and crisp, firm flesh. It is an extremely fertile variety, producing up to 100 tons of high-quality fruit from a single hectare.

The final harvest often falls around the first night frost, with the first edible zucchini appearing around the end of June.

Kitchen gardeners especially love this zucchini for its flavor. Young fruit is ideal for immediate consumption because it is high in vitamin C – 45 mg per 100 g fresh weight – and has a mild flavor. The cultivar is not only suitable for commercial cultivation, but also thrives perfectly in the home vegetable garden.

The fruit can be grown near roads without endangering human health, as it is genetically incapable of accumulating nitrates and heavy metals. Because of its resistance to all common types of downy mildew, it does not need additional chemical protection against this fungus.
