Cocozelle is a crookneck type of Zucchini. It is straight when small, curving as it grows longer.
Its skin is medium-green with wide, light green stripes and slight ridges.
A medium-sized zucchini, it is somewhat thinner than many other zucchini, and its flavour is considered more pronounced than many other zucchini.
The flesh inside is tender.
The zucchini is best picked before it is 12 inches (30 cm), ideally around 7 to 10 inches (18 to 25 cm) long. It will generally weigh less than 1 pound (.5 kg.)
The Cocozelle plant is an Open Pollinated compact bush that will grow 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) tall, and 36 to 48 inches (90 120 cm) wide, with good yields.
When the zucchini are picked young, the plant will keep on producing.
