Druzhok

Cucumber of the "Druzhok" variety is an early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid suitable for cultivation in open ground, plastic greenhouses, and under temporary covers. The plant is medium-sized, with weakly branching vines and light green leaves, exhibiting high cold resistance and resistance to powdery mildew and root rots. It has female-type flowering, which ensures the formation of one to two fruits in leaf axils and contributes to stable fruiting.

The fruits of the "Druzhok" cucumber are cylindrical, light green with white spines and large bumps. Fruit length varies from 7 to 10 cm, diameter is about 3-4 cm, and weight reaches 100-120 grams. The cucumbers are juicy, crisp, and flavorful without bitterness, making them versatile for fresh consumption as well as for preservation.

The variety is characterized by early fruiting — from 37 to 48 days after sowing — as well as a prolonged harvest period. Marketable yield in unheated greenhouses reaches 14.8 kg per square meter. Due to its quality and resistance to diseases, the "Druzhok" cucumber is a reliable choice for gardeners aiming to obtain delicious and high-quality yields under various cultivation conditions.
