Description
8 Ball is a new courgette variety with perfectly round fruits of very good texture and nutty squash flavour. Their shape and cricket ball size make them ideal for stuffing and roasting with one full stuffed squash served per person. The ideal courgette!
Like most courgettes, it grows vigorously with an impressive yield. Unlike some other varieties though it has a relatively compact bushy habit that makes it suitable for container growing. Fertile soil and occasional feeding are essential, and they will benefit from the cover of a polytunnel or greenhouse.
Eight Ball can be harvested when immature or when it has grown to full size; it's recommended to harvest when 2-3" in diameter for the best flavour. The larger size is suitable for stuffing while immature fruits are great for steaming.
