About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven classic for the outdoor slicing cucumber, giving you straight, dark green fruit 18 to 20 cm long even without a greenhouse. Robust against the most common cucumber diseases and tolerant of cooler nights, it crops reliably over a long period. Because it is open pollinated, you can save your own seed from the finest fruits.
Mild and juicy with a thin skin and virtually bitter free flesh. Freshly sliced in salad or on bread is its star turn.
