Russian Winter

RUSSIAN WINTER — this is a self-pollinating cucumber hybrid, distinguished by its high early maturity, yield, and resistance to various diseases. The fruits are dark green, cylindrical in shape with large bumps and white down, measuring 10–18 cm in length and weighing approximately 120–140 g. The plants are compact, with large, ribbed leaves, and exhibit an exclusively female flowering type, ensuring stable fruiting without the need for pollination. This hybrid is suitable for cultivation both indoors and in winter gardens and greenhouses. RUSSIAN WINTER demonstrates excellent adaptation to low temperatures and shady conditions, allowing year-round cultivation in various crop rotations, including winter-spring and spring-autumn periods. The plants grow rapidly and actively branch, contributing to early and abundant harvests as early as 40–42 days after sowing. The fruits have a large-bumped surface with white spines, making them attractive for fresh consumption and pickling. The hybrid shows high resistance to major cucumber diseases, including root rot, true and false powdery mildew, and olive spot. Due to these qualities and superior seed quality, RUSSIAN WINTER is a reliable choice for cultivation in heated greenhouses and gardens, ensuring a stable and high-quality yield.
