EASTERN EXPRESS

Eastern Express cucumber is a parthenocarpic hybrid intended for cultivation both in open ground and in protected soil. The plant is strong, with an indeterminate growth type and moderate branching. The main stem reaches a length of about 200 cm and forms a sufficient number of lateral branches. Leaves are medium-sized, dark green, and slightly wrinkled, which promotes good photosynthesis and plant development.

Fruits of this variety are cylindrical, 35-40 cm long and up to 300 g in weight, with a dark green color, large, often spaced bumps, and white spines. The cucumbers are free of bitterness, making them particularly attractive for fresh consumption. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and aromatic, providing excellent taste and high consumer ratings. The number of fruits per node is 1-2, which contributes to stable and abundant fruiting.

The Eastern Express variety is valued for its high disease resistance and long fruiting period, making it a reliable choice for gardeners and farmers. The fruits are ideal for preparing fresh salads due to their flavor and appearance. The period from germination to the start of fruiting is 45-50 days, allowing for an early and stable harvest.
