Muncher cucumber
Cucumis sativus

Green Lebanese-type cucumber. Very good flavor, never bitter. Very thin, smooth, spineless skin. Harvest at any stage of growth. Excellent for fresh consumption, can also be used for marinades. Vigorous, productive plants that climb easily. Originally from Israel. 60 days to maturity.

A reproducible cultivar with parthenocarpictendancies: it produces both male and female flowers and sometimes a few cucumbers without pollination. We have observed low productivity under insect netting in the field.

Full sun. Well-drained, rich soil. Direct sowing after the last frost or indoor sowing 2 to 5 weeks before. Protect young plants from insects at the beggining of the season. 1.5 cm deep. 40 cm between plants.

Germination: 97% in December 2024
