The 'Black Beauty' zucchini plants, which are of the bush-type variety, exhibit early maturity and high productivity. While this summer squash can be utilized at various sizes harvesting when the fruits measure approximately six to eight inches in length and two inches in diameter is ideal. We particularly favor these young and tender zucchinis, as they are superb when lightly steamed, sautéed, or stir-fried. As they mature, their color transitions to a black-green or nearly black shade. It is important to note that during the peak summer period, if one does not monitor their plants regularly, the fruits can rapidly grow in size.
