They also require many more plants to produce the same weight in fruit compared to a good producing zucchini.

Bill, I don't know how it would react to the really high, humid temps you've got down there. It was an abnormally hot summer here and they did just fine. But our heat is a drier heat than yours. We don't get many boring worms, if any. No interesting worms either . Zehpyr wasn't really shaped like a crookneck either. More like a cross between a zucchini and a crookneck, without the crook.
