Cucumber - Suyo Long (4" pot)
Cucumber - Suyo Long (4" pot)
Long, ribbed, dark green fruit can grow to 12 inches. They are very mild, sweet, and burpless. One of our personal favorites for fresh eating. This productive heirloom is a parthenocarpic variety, you can grow in a greenhouse without pollinators. Vines will produce masses of burpless fruits that have few seeds, making them more tender and crisp!
Grown Organically from seed in our nursery.

Pest/Disease Management: Does need to be protected from caterpillars, particularly when young, which can be done with hand picking or selectively spraying with organic caterpillar treatments. We use BT (sparingly) for caterpillars. Resistant to most mildews but may still occur. We treat with a spray of half water and half milk for mildew.
