Description
Cucumus sativus
Webstore exclusive
This early, white-spined pickling cucumber that has multiple disease resistance qualities and produces medium sized, emerald green, blocky fruits, 3-5" in length. They are used both fresh in salads and for pickling. An excellent pickling cucumber.
The compact vines are excellent for a greenhouse because they have multiple branch points so they easily climb a trellis to conserve space. A parthenocarpic variety that needs no pollination, making it a good choice for protecting against insects when growing under row cover. Plants do well under adverse weather conditions and grow well in containers. Developed and released by the University of Arkansas in 1991.
