This mid-eastern delight produces an abundance of fluted light green fruit. Each cucumber can grow 2-3 feet long. In very hot weather, it is most delicious when picked about a foot long. The fruit is very easy to digest and mild tasting. It does extremely well in hot climates, producing excellent crops where other cucumbers fail. Avoid over watering and trellis if you need to save space. This variety can produce fruit when temperatures reach 100 degrees. This is a Southwestern favorite. 65 days.
