south wind slicing cucumber

Another stand-up variety from Edmund Frost, who focused in on bacterial wilt tolerance as well as downy resistance in his selections in Virginia. Straight medium-green 7–8" cukes are spectacular: crunchy and aromatic with stem ends never getting bitter. In Maine, we found that like Frost’s Common Wealth pickler, South Wind showed impressive resistance to PM, with vines still perky and vibrant when many other varieties had completely succumbed. The strong vigorous productive plants rarely produce misshapen fruits, even under stress. Independent Breeder. Breeder Royalties. Independent Breeder .
