Cucumber Gherkin Tursu F1 - Cucumis sativus - 5 Seeds

This spiny little cucumber was bred for harvesting and pickling the perfect gherkin pickles. The plants are extremely productive over a long season. Great outdoors but will also work well in a greenhouse setting. The large, bushy plants do not require pollination. Usually Gherkin is harvested at such a small stage that even if it is pollinated outdoors, there will not be any seed development. Give the fruits a gentle rub with a cloth at harvest time, and the spines easily break off.
