| Notes | CRISPY CRUNCHY HYBRID - CUCUMBER - HYBRID (Parthenocarpic - Pollination Independent) TYPE: Slicing, pickling when young SEED DEVELOPMENT: Typically Seedless FRUIT LENGTH: 6-8" (Slicing), smaller for pickling FRUIT CHARACTERISTICS: Smooth, dark green, uniform MATURITY: Approximately 55 days from sowing YIELD POTENTIAL: High KEY ATTRIBUTES: POLLINATION: Sets fruit without pollination, ensuring reliable yields. Remains seedless unless cross-pollinated by seeded varieties. DUAL PURPOSE: Excellent for slicing due to its crisp texture and can be harvested young for pickling. DISEASE RESISTANCE: Often bred for good resistance to common cucumber diseases. PRODUCTIVITY: Produces a good number of uniform fruits on vigorous vines. FLAVOR PROFILE: Mild, refreshing flavor with a notably crisp and crunchy texture. TIME TO HARVEST: Mid-season maturity. GROWING GUIDELINES: STARTING: Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (typically May in American Canyon). Sow seeds ½ inch deep, 2-3 seeds per hill, with hills spaced 2-3 feet apart. Thin to the strongest seedling per hill. SPACING: Space hills 2-3 feet apart. Provide support for vining growth. PLANT SUPPORT: Trellising or staking is recommended to keep fruits off the ground, improve air circulation, and encourage straighter growth. HARVESTING: Harvest at 6-8 inches for slicing. For pickling, harvest at smaller sizes (2-4 inches). Frequent picking encourages continuous production. EXHIBITION POTENTIAL: Well-suited for both slicing and pickling categories if harvested at the appropriate size. The uniform shape and dark green color enhance their appeal for exhibition. The "Crispy Crunchy" name suggests a desirable texture that might be noted by judges. https://tomatogrowers.com/products/crispy-crunchy-hybrid |
