OverviewBonanza is a productive zucchini hybrid bred for fresh‑market production. It produces attractive cylindrical, medium‑dark green fruit over an extended harvest window. The erect, open plant architecture improves fruit visibility and harvest efficiency, and reduced spines facilitate easier picking. Bonanza delivers steady yields through late harvests, supporting consistent quality for commercial growers.
Key Features- Reduced spines for easier harvest
- Open plant architecture for improved fruit visibility
- Erect plant habit
- Cylindrical fruit shape
