Ola Escaladora Zucchini

Ola Escaladora is a unique vining zucchini bred specifically for vertical growing. Instead of forming a compact bush, this variety produces long, vigorous vines that readily climb trellises, fences, and other supports—making it ideal for gardeners looking to maximize space and harvest with ease.

Plants produce abundant, smooth dark green zucchini with classic flavour and tender texture. Growing vertically improves airflow, keeps fruit clean, and makes harvesting more efficient throughout the season.
