Capricorn F1

The Capricorn F1 cucumber is an early parthenocarpic hybrid of the cornichon type, developed by the Turkish seed company Yuksel Tohum. This self-pollinating variety features a strong, bushy plant with small leaves and short internodes, ensuring compactness and ease of cultivation. The plants are well-developed, low-maintenance, and suitable for growing both outdoors and in greenhouses, including horizontal and vertical methods, such as on trellises. The hybrid thrives during spring-winter and summer-autumn periods, demonstrating high stress resistance and shade tolerance. Capricorn F1 fruits are cylindrical with a bumpy surface and small spines, measuring 12-14 cm in length and weighing approximately 120-140 grams. The skin is a rich dark green with even coloring and light stripes near the blossom end. The flesh is dense, aromatic, and has pleasant flavor qualities, making this variety ideal for fresh consumption, pickling, and marinating. Up to five fruits form per node, ensuring high yields per plant. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major cucumber diseases and tolerates hot conditions and water deficiency. The harvest maintains excellent commercial qualities even during long-distance transport, making Capricorn F1 attractive for commercial cultivation and distribution. Due to its characteristics and wide range of applications, this variety is an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers seeking an early and high-quality cucumber harvest.
