A gynoecious hybrid with uniformly dark green, non-stippled, cylindrical fruit. It is an older hybrid introduced by Joseph Harris, but it is holding its own against Marketmore 76 and Diomede. Earlier to produce than Marketmore 76.
ugh...nursery where I bought seedlings of these for the season made no mention of their gynoecious nature. Am I going to need to plant another variety nearby to ensure decent pollination?
Probably. When you buy a packaged of seeds it always contains a few seeds of a Monoecious variety to act as a pollenizer. Probable the nursery also included a pollenizer plant to ensure that the customer gets cucumbers. A gynoecious plant will have a few male blossoms, but in order to be productive need more male blossoms then the female dominant plants provide. https://hortnews.extension.ias...
