OK for as long as I have been gardening (45 years??) I have never heard of a cucuzza so I had to google it. Must be no one grows them up here. (Michigan)

Me either. I heard about tromboncino squash here, and Marcella sent me some seed.

Then Rightly said someone he knew grew a sqush like a tromboncino without the bulb on the end. I googled "yard long squash", and cucuzza is what came up, and Rightly identified it as "the one he remembered".

So, we all learn new stuff here..I just learned yesterday that it's best to plant pointy ended seeds (like squash, melons, cukes) pointy end straight down.
