Cucumber Kassandra

Cassandra is an early-maturing cucumber variety that begins fruiting as early as 40-43 days after germination. The plants are strongly branched and bear female flowers, ensuring a good yield. The fruits are medium in length (13-15 cm), cylindrical in shape, with a bumpy surface and dense skin, colored bright green. The weight of one cucumber ranges from 120 to 160 grams. The cucumbers are characterized by their crisp texture, juiciness, and excellent taste, making them suitable for both fresh consumption and pickling.

The Cassandra variety is a parthenocarpic hybrid, allowing it to be grown under plastic coverings and in open ground. The plants have a high market yield, reaching over 21 kg per square meter. Additionally, the variety is resistant to common diseases such as cucumber mosaic virus and powdery mildew, as well as pests, which simplifies care and improves crop quality.

Due to its characteristics, Cassandra is ideal for cultivation both in home gardens and in open fields. The dense skin and medium-density white down provide additional protection to the fruits, preserving their freshness and market appearance. This variety is popular among gardeners for its early maturity, high yield, and excellent taste.
