Esteem is a attractive zucchini that has the darker green color that markets now look for. Upright and open bush plants produce good yields of dark green fruit that have attractive flecking, a shiny appearance and great eye-appeal. The fruit can put on good length and still retain their cylindrical shape. The plants remain strong and vigorous late into the season with a great disease package that includes intermediate resistance to Powdery Mildew, Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus, Watermelon Mosaic Virus and Papaya Ringspot Virus.
