F1 Gepard — a fast-maturing parthenocarpic bush hybrid for spring greenhouses, tunnels, and open ground. Parthenocarpy is very high; each plant simultaneously bears a large number of green fruits. Fruit set begins on day 37-38 after germination; fruiting period is prolonged. Branching is limited. At each node, 1-2 to 3-4 fruit set nodes form. Fruits are bumpy, white-stemmed, intensely green with longitudinal light stripes, 11-13 cm long, with dense coarse hairs. Salt and taste qualities are high. The hybrid is relatively cold-resistant, resistant to powdery mildew, olive spot, and common cucumber mosaic virus, tolerant to false powdery mildew and root rots.
Planting density in greenhouses: 2.5 plants/m2, in open ground: 3-5 plants/m2.
