This variety features vigorous plants with limited branching and lateral shoots, as well as a cluster type of flowering, where 4 to 5 fruits form at each node. The period from emergence of seedlings to the first harvest is 40-45 days, enabling early and abundant yields.
The fruits of Shustrits-Molodec cucumber are cylindrical, 11-13 cm long, and weigh 120-130 g. They are dark green with short light stripes, white-stemmed and large-ridged, giving them an attractive appearance. Due to their characteristics, cucumbers of this variety are suitable for both fresh consumption and preservation, pickling, and marinating.
The variety is distinguished by high yield and resistance to a complex of diseases, including powdery mildew and false powdery mildew, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in northern and central regions. Abundant and prolonged fruiting allows for a stable yield throughout the season, which is especially valuable for farmers and gardeners focused on quality and early cucumber harvests.
