Cucurbita moschata is the latin name for the tromboncino squash. I got my seeds from territorial seeds and I am hooked! This squash is resistant to most summer squash pests and produces so much food! Here I’ll discuss a little about the pest pressure, some preservation ideas, and recipe ideas. If you’d like more information on discerning pests, check out this video:    • What's killing my zucchini and squash...

    I really enjoyed your presentation you have such a lovely voice and a sweet smile I always like seeing how others overcome challenges in their garden! But I also need to know how you can use the product you were trying to save you have covered all the bases for me. Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this😊

    Jam packed with such helpful info! I think each video of yours I hear about some new variety that I didn't remember from your previous video!

    Subscribed! After seeing all your tips and suggestions, how could I not? I appreciate that you described what you do with the food after preserving it. I grew tromboncino for the first time and was amazed with it. The vine borer didn't bother it but the dang squash bugs did a little - that is saying a lot considering they wiped out my zucchini and yellow squash. I LOVE your idea to shred it as I never seem to get any zucchini and this will be welcome in my freezer. Great video, thanks!

    I’m now growing it since July 2022...it’s a fun squash to watch it grow so fast with its strong stems. It climbed right out of my garden and over the fence! It’s monster squash! Love it! I think I’m done with traditional squash. I tried every trick I knew to ward off the vine borers on the other squash, way to much work!!

    It’s an Heirloom and that’s another bonus to Tromboncino Squash.

    My goodness , perfect timing finding your video on tromboncino squash. I’m really considering growing this variety. I’d almost totally given up growing squash hence because of vine borers/squash bugs. I’m curious, how many plants of trimboncino squash do you have?

    Are the leaves edible like they are from other squash plants?
