Ok I am thinking of entering a giant marrow in the biggest Zuccini cattagory. I am prety sure thats what the guy who won it two yrs ago had.

So does anyone know the botanical name for giant marrow,

Is it in the same family as zuccini?

Any intel would greatly hellp me and dad out.

Marrows are vines...Zuchinnis are bushes except trombensco.

Guinness has them in 2 separate categories. Like Shannon said one is a bush/zucchini and the other is a vine plant, Marrow. A marrow will get twice a large as a zucchini. So therefore they should be in separate classes. Later Spud.
