| I'm interested in growing these two summer squashes this year. Is eight ball a bush plant? I recall reading that somewhere. Where would be the best place to get these seeds? I've checked out several places, but as I already have seeds for the other veggies I'm planning to grow this year, all I need are these. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks! |

| Both white scallops and Eight Ball zukes have about the same size plants. In really good soil maybe two feet high and 3 ft in diameter. Both are relatively popular cultivars. In this area most garden centers will have the the white bush scallop in bulk. A garden center with an extended seed display may have Eight Ball or its look alike Black Ball. |

| Thanks! I've orderd the eight ball, but haven't ordered the white yet...I'm trying to find a place where I won't have to pay $4 shipping for a $2 pack of seeds... Oh, do these 2 cross-pollinate easily? I will be planting them next to each other, so would I get white ball zucchinis or green scallops? |

| Only if you save seeds. They cross pollinate very readily, but it only shows up in the offspring. |
