Make a trellis for the vine to grow on, or train it to go to a fence to climb on. You will be taking away zucchini fruits if you trim the vines at all. You need both the male and female to get a crop so that the bees, etc. can do their job to create more zucchini.
Female stems have a baby zucchini just beneath the flower. Male stems just have the flower.
