How to Grow Cocozielli Squash


Do you want to grow a vegetable taller than a full grown man? Cocozielli is a squash found in Italy that can easily grow longer than 5 feet long! It requires a lot of space. Ray DiVasta grows them in his backyard garden in Greece, N.Y. Ray grows them over his shed ,and trains them on a rope tied high on a tree.

You can grow them too! Follow the same process you do for growing squash. It is a natural climber. Give it plenty of room to grow and climb ,with a strong trellis, or fence. As it grows, your neighbors and friends will be absolutely amazed. In the fall, you can enter it in fall festivals and weighoffs. Or, sell some to your local grocery stores, which love to pick up novel fruits and vegetables either for sale or display.

The World record for long squash (or gourds) is 110 and 5/8 inches, held by Ray Waterman of Clarence, N.Y.
