Raven's dark green, cylindrical fruits are smooth-skinned, glossy and especially tender fleshed with consistently delicious flavor, whether picked as babies with pretty blossoms still attached or at larger sizes. Harvest is quick and easy because the abundant fruits are born high up on bush style plants that don't sprawl all over and the leaves have very few prickly spines. Raven zucchini are widely adopted, germinate and grow quickly, bear heavily and do not get woody or tough with age.
