Cucumber GREEN SNAKE

Green Snake F1 — a medium-late, insect-pollinated cucumber hybrid, distinguished by its unusual snake-like fruit shape and dark green color. Fruits reach 50–60 cm in length, have large but sparse bumps, short peduncles, and thin, tender skin. They possess a strong aroma, sweet and juicy flavor, no hollows, and small seed cavities, making them ideal for summer salads.

The plant is vigorous and develops intensively, requiring fertile soil and regular feeding to achieve maximum yield. Green Snake is primarily grown outdoors using temporary plastic coverings to extend the fruiting period. Sowing seedlings is recommended in late April, and transplanting into the ground — in late May or early June, when plants have formed 3–4 true leaves. Direct sowing in the ground is also possible in May–June.

To increase productivity, main stems are pinched after 6–7 leaves. The recommended planting scheme is 50x100 cm. With proper agrotechnics, yield can reach 30 kg per square meter, making this hybrid an attractive choice for gardeners who appreciate tasty, unusual cucumbers with prolonged and abundant fruiting.
