Saigon

The Saigon F1 cucumber is an early parthenocarpic hybrid designed for cultivation in open and protected ground. The vegetation period is approximately 40-45 days, allowing for an early harvest. The plant forms a bushy inflorescence and exhibits high resistance to various bacterial diseases, as well as adaptability to temperature fluctuations, making it a reliable choice for different climatic conditions. The fruits have a dark green, large-warty cylindrical shape, weighing 80-180 grams, measuring 10-12 centimeters in length, and featuring uniform large spines.

A distinctive feature of this variety is its ability to retain small gherkins on the plants for a long time, allowing harvest for preservation at a convenient time. The fruits have a crisp texture, absence of bitterness and hollows, ensuring a tender and pleasant taste. Thanks to these qualities, the cucumber is suitable for both fresh consumption and pickling and preservation.

Growing the Saigon cucumber does not require cucumber netting, and the plant does not shed fruit during temperature fluctuations, simplifying care and increasing harvest stability. Fruit production lasts up to 2.5 months, ensuring a prolonged harvest period. This variety is especially popular in fresh markets due to its taste qualities and versatility of use.
