According to historical records, the Romans were the first to grow cucumbers in greenhouses. The goal was to provide cucumbers for Emperor Tiberius throughout the year on the Isle of Capri. In time those long cucumbers were grown throughout Europe. The fruits reach up to 14 inches in length, and are sweet and crisp. They are also completely bitter free and burpless. As with any large cucumber, you will want to trellis them if you want them to be straight. 68 days.
This cucumber is popular in Europe where gardeners love the true "Cornichon" type pickle. The petite 3 to 5 inch fruit have very small white spines and are very crispy and flavorful. Short season areas will appreciate Crispy Crunchy's ability to set fruit without pollination (parthenocarpy). That means you don't need to have any honey bees working the flowers. Yields are impressive, and the vigorous vines keep growing. This kind of cucumber is hard to find in the United States, but we have taken the time to make sure our customers can have a taste of Europe without traveling to Paris. 44 days.
