Description

Historic cucumber variety, introduced around 1880. The plants are high-yielding, with just two plants you can harvest around 10 kg of cucumbers if you pick them regularly. The harvest starts very early, as the fruits ripen within a short time. The dark green fruits can be harvested young or up to a length of 12 cm. They taste fresh, crunchy and delicious. Use both as a pickling cucumber and as a salad cucumber.
