Cucurbita pepo. Cue Ball has vigorous, bushy, upright, open growth for easy picking. The shiny, pale green skins of the very round fruits are mottled with white. The fruits are tender and sweet at 8-12cm (3-5") in diameter, but they can be picked at a large size as well. This is very much a summer squash and typical of zucchini - plan on harvesting often over the productive summer months. They can be sliced, fried, baked whole, or stuffed. Cue Ball is tolerant to Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus and Watermelon Mosaic Virus.
