Cucumber variety Zastolny is an early-maturing hybrid with a maturation period of 42-45 days. The plant is long-branched and female-flowering, which promotes cluster formation of fruits. Fruits are cylindrical in shape with small bumps, 10-12 cm long, about 4 cm in diameter, and weighing 80-110 grams. They are characterized by a crisp texture, tender skin, juiciness, and absence of bitterness, making them especially attractive to consumers.
Fruiting continues for 40-50 days, and yield reaches 2.6-3.8 kg per square meter. Cucumbers of this variety have excellent flavor and are versatile in use: they are ideal for fresh consumption, salad preparation, as well as for canning, pickling, and marination. Due to their short fruiting period and ability to form clusters of fruiting nodes, the variety ensures a stable and abundant harvest.
Moreover, Zastolny is resistant to false powdery mildew, enhancing its reliability during cultivation. This hybrid, of cornichon type, is valued for its high productivity and fruit quality, making it an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers seeking an early and tasty cucumber harvest.
