Snack Cucumber 'Iznik' F1 / 'Pony' F1 / 'Kalimero' F1

  • Product number: 130520
  • Origin: Southwest Asia
  • Latin: Cucumis sativus

The ideal mini cucumber for indoor and outdoor cultivation. They develop fruits of about 10 cm in length and have a smooth, thin skin. The taste and crispness are highly sought after, making these fruits ideal as a snack! The yield is enormous; they grow in clusters of 3 or 4 fruits, with every flower developing into a fruit, as this cucumber does not require pollination (parthenocarpic) and therefore has no seeds inside.
For grafting cucumbers, use this variety: 133000 'Boule de Siam'. As an aid, we recommend these grafting clips: 847525 Grafting clip 2.5 mm.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION CUCUMBERS:
Cucumbers that grow long tendrils can be pruned regularly. For outdoor cultivation (depending on the variety), a reasonably warm summer is needed, and all varieties grow well in a greenhouse. Sometimes it is advisable to let the plant grow outdoors if fruit set fails! Cucumbers are usually harvested unripe, unless the skin becomes particularly attractive when ripe. Unripe fruits are sliced and eaten raw in salads, while ripe fruits can be scooped out like a melon. Many small cucurbits or (extremely) young harvested fruits are eaten as gherkins (pickled) or as a healthy snack with a drink or meal. Pay attention to the individual descriptions of our species and varieties; some are purely ornamental and NOT edible!
