Cucumber Bastion

Bastion F1 cucumber is a parthenocarpic early-maturing hybrid with female flowering, intended for cultivation in plastic greenhouses and open ground. The period from full emergence to harvest is 38-42 days, allowing for an early harvest. The plant is strong-growing, moderately branched, with a robust root system, well-adapted to various soils and substrates. The bush is tall, indeterminate, with moderate foliage and widely spreading long stems, which promotes good growth and fruiting.

The fruits of the Bastion cucumber have a cylindrical shape with white spines and medium-sized bumps, which are frequently spaced. Fruit length is 12-16 cm, diameter — 3.5-4.5 cm, and weight varies from 120 to 160 g. The fruit skin is dense but thin, dark green with a slight light stripe, not prone to yellowing. Internal cavities are absent, indicating high vegetable quality. The flesh is elastic, juicy, and has a characteristic crunch when chewed, with a pleasant taste, free from bitterness, and the skin does not feel tough.

The Bastion variety is resistant to cucumber mosaic virus and olive spot disease, and tolerant to powdery mildew, significantly simplifying care and increasing harvest reliability. Cucumbers of this variety are versatile: they are suitable for fresh consumption as well as for preservation. Due to their qualities and adaptability, the Bastion variety is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an early and high-quality cucumber harvest.
