Cucumber FRIENDLY

The hybrid cucumber 'Friendly' is a fast-maturing, self-pollinating, cornichon-type variety characterized by high yield and stable fruiting even under adverse conditions. The plant is indeterminate with a well-developed structure and medium-length tendrils. Female-type flowering promotes the formation of clusters of 3-4 ovary buds per node, ensuring a steady harvest. The technical maturity period arrives between 43-48 days after germination, allowing for an early and abundant harvest.

The 'Friendly' cucumber fruits are cylindrical, 8-9 cm long and up to 3 cm in diameter, with a deep green color, white downy covering, and medium-sized, closely spaced bumps. The flesh is dense, juicy, and free of bitterness, making the cucumbers versatile for various uses. They are ideal for fresh consumption, as well as for pickling and preserving, retaining their firmness and crisp texture. Thanks to their white-haired surface and faint light stripes, the fruits look attractive and appetizing.

The hybrid is resistant to common diseases such as false powdery mildew, reducing the need for intensive plant protection. It requires minimal care and is suitable for cultivation in greenhouses and open ground. Its high yield and stable fruiting until the first frosts make 'Friendly' cucumber an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers seeking quality and tasty harvests.
