Description
Cucumis sativus
Strongly vining cuke with uniform 10" long, slender fruits.
Called kyuri in Japan, these handsome cukes grow long and slender, with a slightly sweet taste, a crunchy texture, and delicate skins that do not require peeling. They are excellent sliced thinly or cut into thick slabs for salads. Often compared to English cucumbers, but with crunchier flesh. Grow this variety on a trellis to get the longest, straightest cukes, as they’ll curl when grown on the ground.

Directions: Direct seed after danger of frost has passed and soil is consistently warm. Thin to 12" spacing. Or start indoors 4 weeks before last frost and transplant out after danger of frost has passed.
