Cucumber – Suyo Long
$3.99
In Stock
The Asian cucumber variety Suyo Long produces long (30 to 40 cm), narrow fruits with a bumpy and spiny skin. Not very bitter, this variety is also appreciated because it is easily digested. Like other cucumbers, it can be eaten raw or cooked. Although staking this plant is recommended to facilitate its cultivation and support the large fruits, it is not essential; mounted on a support, the plants will produce straighter fruits, at ground level, the fruits will tend to bend a little more.
