Courgette : one ball and eight ball

[falkon]

This year i want to try yellow one ball courgette and green eight ball courgette, how big the plants of these varieties will grow..... are they bush type of trailing or spreading ?

[ginger ninger]

Eight ball are a bush type, I grow them in big bendy buckets, there very prolific. I'm growing yellow one ball this year for the first time, I think its a bush type as well.

I've grown one ball in the past and they do have a bush habit. Grew them in a container and were also prolific.

My friend and I attempted to grow One Ball a couple of years ago from a commercial packet (it was labelled as a hybrid). We got no germination whatsoever!

I grew the green round courgettes once, and couldn't see the fruits among the foliage, until they were football size
