suhyo long long-fruited cucumber

Known for its sweet mild burpless flavor, this Asian cucumber grows up to 15" long with a curly shape if unsupported. For straighter fruit that packs better, Jason Kafka grows these in his greenhouse in vertical hedges, stretching Trellis netting between conduits. According to Tom Vigue these make good dense pickling cukes if picked young enough. Jonathan Mitschele of Maine agrees: “Suhyo is wonderful both fresh and pickled.” Sets well in heat.
