Marrow Bush Baby

Description

RHS Award

Marrow Bush Baby produces compact dark green fruits with a pale green stripe, ideal for growing in smaller gardens, containers or on the patio. They grow to approximately 15-20cm (6-8") long and are very attractive when picked young as a courgette.
 

Marrows can be cut before the first frost and stored in a frost free but cool area and used during the winter. However, unlike courgette the skin is tough and is either removed before cooking or just after. Raise and grow as courgettes.
