Shandong Si Gua 1210 Cucumber (Certified Organic)

Grown by Twin Oaks Seed Farm – 52 days – Cucumis sativus

A very productive, tasty and thin-skinned Chinese cucumber. The fruits are about a foot long and slightly curved, though they will grow straight on a trellis. One of the standouts in the 2014 cucumber trial at Twin Oaks Seed Farm (see https://projects.sare.org/project-reports/fs13-273/), where it produced very well under high downy mildew pressure, and with very little impact from bacterial wilt. They also stand out for flavor and a high percentage of marketable fruits. It is one of the parents for our new varieties South Wind Slicer and Common Wealth Pickler. From the USDA seed bank – PI 432885. 39 seeds/gram.
