Anyone know a particularly heat tolerant zucchini?

15 years ago

Hello-

Has anyone grown a zucchini variety that you find is particularly tolerant to consistantly high temperatures? It gets really hot here in Thailand, almost always in the 90s (F) this time of year and not unusually over 100 degrees some days. The zucchini plants really take a beating, even though I screen out some of the sun with netting. There is also lots of tropical humidity. Folks in places like Florida, Texas, and other Southern states, do you have good luck with any particular varieties? I found a few online references to "Butterstick" growing well in hot places, and I plan to try that, but I'm fond of green zucchini and I hear that the yellow zucchini's flavor is a bit different. Thank you for any recommendations!
