The Easy Pick Green Zucchini Plant is aptly named as it is a spineless variety with an open habit, which makes harvesting as painless as possible. It produces dark-green, smooth fruits up to 6-8 inches long that store well and can be used in many culinary ways. If harvested regularly, this plant will continue cropping all season long. With its open habit, the fruits are easy to spot, making any hidden zukes less likely.
Easy Pick Green Zucchini Care
Being tender, zucchini plants can be damaged by low temperatures and should not be planted out until all risk of frost has passed and the temperatures are above 60 °F. Requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day, these edibles prefer a south-facing and sheltered spot. As a hungry plant, the Easy Pick Green Zucchini likes to be grown in fertile soil that is free draining. To help prevent mildew, plants should be spaced at least 4 feet apart.
Growing Easy Pick Green Zucchini
You don’t have to wait long for the delicious fruits to start appearing, which can be in as little as 32 – 40 days. Zucchini plants need ample space and this Easy Pick Green Zucchini is no exception as it can grow to 4-5 feet tall by 4-5 feet wide. As they require full sun, zucchini plants are best grown outside in the sunniest spot you can give them.
Smaller zucchini plants can grow well when planted in a large container. However, due to its size, this cultivar would be best situated directly in the ground or in a large raised bed.
Watering Easy Pick Green Zucchini
Zucchini plants thrive when grown in a soil that is kept consistently moist and not allowed to dry out. Slow and deep watering to the base of the plant is recommended to avoid getting the foliage wet.
Feeding Easy Pick Green Zucchini
Zucchini plants adore lots of organic matter, and enriching the soil before planting will help encourage high yields. Once the flowers begin to form, feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer will help encourage consistent fruiting until the end of the season.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
