Tried them for the first time this year my zuchinni did terrible but these guys rock! I really loke the taste too. TIP: the long skinny part has no seeds so great for using a peeler to get long flat noodles or Oooooo or if you have a julienne peeler. Gonna try that next!
I usually don't have issues with butternut and vine borers. Tromboncino is a SATR - no vine borers anywhere! I tried Bossa Nova zucchini this year and so far the vine borers have left them alone.
Yayy! I’m so glad! Our butternut we had growing on the ground, produced a bunch!!! Until we finally chopped it down a week ago. But the ones on the trellis failed quickly 😂. So glad yours is thriving!
Just ordered my rampicante seeds from baker creek. I have heard the vines are more solid. So the vine borers will still hit them but the larvae can’t get very far before the die from exhaustion. Excited to see if I actually get a squash this year. (I’ve lost all my vines for the last 4 springs)
if you like big melons/gourds you must try these.. Zucca gourds and wax melons. Both can grow to over 35 lbs. The only problem is the wax gourds take a very long time to germinate. Some people say they can grow to 100 lbs. I don't think so. LOL I would be happy if they get to 5 lbs. Good luck I hope you like them.
I would keep that mutation for seed and grow them again, hoping it would continue to give me mutated squash. It looks wonderful!!! If you keep seed from it, can I buy some from you?
Can trombonchino be grown on the same spot year after year? I had great success first couple of years but my last season wasn't good. The plant was weak, yellowish leafs and poor productivity. I got help to build trellis for trombonchino and would like to grow in the same space. Any suggestions on soil improvement? Thank you.
I was wondering if you could tell me what the carb count for a cup of this squash is I tried searching on the Internet and didn’t come up with any results as I follow a low carb diet.
If you don’t have a trellis you most definitely can let it run on the ground! The leaves are BIG! So just make sure you have a nice space for it where it doesn’t cover smaller plants
I never got the borer out, the plant was just strong enough to continue on. The Tromboncino squash plant is much stronger than the hollow vines of the Zuchini
@@JesusLovingHomesteader I know the last time I grew cocazelli I let some of the fruit just go to its Max. Holy cow! They turned into freaking monsters! It blew away the regular zucchini, they were freaking huge. They developed a super hard and thick skin, so I'm sure they would have stored for a really long time, but we love the heck out of squash so none lasted long enough to see how well they would store. They were great cut up, stuffed and baked. 🤤🤤🤤
@@JesusLovingHomesteader here in the Mojave, roughly 60 miles south of Vegas, I'm always looking for highly productive plants that are heat and drought tolerant. The yellow squash didn't do too good. The regular black beauty zucchini does semi okay until the extreme heat sits in, then it's weakened and become susceptible to bugs and blight. I think we'll stick with butternut, Cocozelle and we'll try the tromboncini.
Have you tried Tromboncino squash? They’ve been great in heat! Also, do you plant Armenian Cucumber? Those are also amazing in heat! It reaches serious temps where I live, and we’ve had such productive Tromboncino, and Armenian Cucumber. Also the TACHI TOMATO variety, looks and tastes so similar to ROMA, but thrives in the heat!
This is my first year growing this squash and I say no its not. The only reason mines survived was the vines that grew new sprouts throughout the plant. One area could eaten by vine borer and another area sprout new vine so the plant never dies. I would likely grow again because of that and the fact it's a summer and winter squash.
I've never grown Tromboncino squash. I purchased "South Anna Butternut" to try this year. They are said to be extremely resistant to vine borers. How I hate those little creatures!
Wow! Those birdhouse gourds look so cute!
Super cute, but let me tell you what, those vines are something serious 😂 they will takeover your garden if you don’t keep up

WOW!! I never even thought to make the long flat noodles! Brilliant
I grew this for 2 years. It didn't have SVB while my zucchini were all killed by SVB every year. And it's super prolific.
It’s been great for us each year
Garden's looking clean guys. Nice job
Thank you so much! Lots of weeding happening lately 😂
I usually don't have issues with butternut and vine borers. Tromboncino is a SATR - no vine borers anywhere! I tried Bossa Nova zucchini this year and so far the vine borers have left them alone.
I need to try bossa nova!!
We’re already subbed! LOL
Awesome vid…and the butternut squash that you gave us is doing great!

You’ll get some!! :) you got this 💪🏽
good info, thanks for the video.
You’re very welcome

I’ve always wanted to try wax gourds!! Maybe I can try and do that next year, they may need their own area lol
Nice vid. Check out how to how to inject BT, I think, into the vine to kill the borer.
I’ve seen that, just rather have a hardier plant, than have to do much extra. We are such a busy family
I would keep that mutation for seed and grow them again, hoping it would continue to give me mutated squash. It looks wonderful!!! If you keep seed from it, can I buy some from you?
Oh no!!! I didn’t keep seed from it! I never even thought about it giving me other cool mutations ahaha. Next time I sure will
Your arch trellis looks like what we want to try. How wide is it? Any tips on building this?
yes we love it! My husband actually made a video on it. th-cam.com/video/89tLbleJRlQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aQLSUfy6rJAWwcJI

Yes it can be, but you have to make sure you’re adding more compost, and rich nutrients . What are you using to ammend the soil?
@@JesusLovingHomesteader Thank you for your reply. I usually add some aged cow or sheep manure couple of weeks before planting.
Vine borers killed all of our plants too! So frustrating!
I was wondering if you could tell me what the carb count for a cup of this squash is I tried searching on the Internet and didn’t come up with any results as I follow a low carb diet.
I’m not exactly sure, so sorry. It’s a Zuchini but tastes similar to butternut when ripe. I would compare the two if you can find their carb count
I don't have a sturdy metal trellis, do you think I could let in run on the ground like a watermelon?
If you don’t have a trellis you most definitely can let it run on the ground! The leaves are BIG! So just make sure you have a nice space for it where it doesn’t cover smaller plants
How do you fertilize them?
How did you get the borer out of the main stem?
I never got the borer out, the plant was just strong enough to continue on. The Tromboncino squash plant is much stronger than the hollow vines of the Zuchini
Are the leaves edible like they are on other squash plants?
Have you ever tried growing cocazelli squash?
We LOVE cocozelle squash and they did great for us this year! Yes young leaves are edible
@@JesusLovingHomesteader I know the last time I grew cocazelli I let some of the fruit just go to its Max. Holy cow! They turned into freaking monsters!

@@natureboy6410 that’s amazing! I’ve never left them on the plant that long! Maybe I should

I live in Georgia and I don’t have good luck with squash of any kind. 😥It gets really hot some days… Any advice?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve definitely noticed that the second round/fall squash do even better.
I love Jesus, too.
He loves you!!

Oh wow! I’ve never heard of that variety! I’ll have to buy seeds and try. Yes I agree, they are so frustrating
