Cucumber variety Brother Ivanushka is a medium-early, bee-pollinated hybrid, distinguished by high yield and resistance to a range of diseases, including powdery mildew, false powdery mildew, and cladosporeiosis. The plant is indeterminate with medium-sized tendrils and green leaves, ensuring stable fruiting over a prolonged period, even until late autumn. Due to its genetic trait of lacking bitterness, the fruits always have a pleasant taste.
The fruits of this cucumber have an oval or conical shape, measuring 6 to 10 cm in length, with thin skin and bright green color. They are slightly ribbed and covered with black spines, giving them a classic gherkin appearance. The weight of a single fruit ranges from 80 to 96 grams. These cucumbers are ideal for fresh consumption, pickling, canning, and especially for lightly salted fermentation, thanks to their excellent flavor.
The hybrid is intended for cultivation in open ground and exhibits increased resistance to disease complexes, simplifying care and enhancing crop reliability. The extended fruiting period allows harvesting cucumbers throughout the season, ensuring a steady supply of fresh vegetables. This variety is an excellent choice for those who value quality, taste, and reliability in growing cucumbers.
