Cucumber CUSHION

Cushion cucumber is an early-maturing, compact bush-type variety, ideal for cultivation in open ground. The vegetation period lasts approximately 40-50 days, allowing for a quick harvest. The plant has a low, compact form with short stems, lacking lateral branches, which simplifies care and saves space on the bed. The height of the bush reaches 50-70 cm, and it does not require support, making this variety convenient for both beginners and experienced gardeners.

The fruits of the Cushion cucumber are 9-12 cm long, with an average weight of 100-135 g. They have a light green color with moderate ribbing and black spines. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and tender, with a refreshing flavor free of bitterness, making them suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for pickling and salting. The variety is distinguished by high disease resistance, ensuring a stable yield of 3.5-4.5 kg per square meter under favorable conditions.

The Cushion cucumber easily adapts to various growing conditions, preferring light, nutrient-rich soils and sunny locations. It is suitable for direct sowing and can be successfully cultivated both in open ground and in greenhouses. Due to its characteristics and versatility, this variety is popular among gardeners who value early maturity, ease of care, and high-quality fruit.
