No, they are bush varieties, just like regular zucchini. Only difference is the shape of the fruits.

Oh, good. That is what I was hoping for!

Thanks,

Dang, I wanted to train mine up a trellis. I guess I'd better rethink that plan.

Thompson and Morgan sells a trailing zucchini, Black Forest. The other trailing summer squashes are mostly the Italian Tromboccino types, which are related to butternut squashes. I don't like this type steamed - they're better sauteed with garlic - but we have friends who let them grow a little bigger and use them in soup. Some people use young winter squash of certain varieties - Banana and a few of the acorn varieties, for example, as summer squash. Check variety descriptions.

Some of the more typical bush summer squashes tend to grow squashes along a central stem, which you can tie to a support to make harvesting easier, frustrate squash bugs slightly and keep the squashes out of the dirt. But it's not exactly like growing on a trellis.

Your going to love your scallop squash. If a squash can be adorable, these are!
