Description
Cucumus sativus
Compact plants crank out loads of blocky 3-5” long fruits excellent for pickling & canning. Multiple branch points allow it to easily climb a trellis, saving space in small gardens. It’s also a parthenocarpic variety which doesn’t need a pollinator to produce fruit, making it a good choice for growing inside a greenhouse. Resistant to many common cucumber diseases.
