Jibai Shimoshirazu Japanese Cucumber
Jibai Shimoshirazu Japanese Cucumber Heirloom Vegetable Seeds Very good standard fresh eating cucumber. Being that it is an heirloom, I was surprised to find that it out produces many hybrid varieties in my garden. It tolerates hot summers and high humidity exceptionally well. It has a pretty high leaf disease tolerance. By the time the plant succumbs to leaf diseases such as powdery mildew, it has already produced tons of cucumbers. I don't spray with any chemicals and can grow organically because of this. The fruit itself on average is 7-8 inches long. Beautiful glossy green color with a light green/white interior. Pick them on the young side to avoid a seedy middle, for the best crunchy texture, and sweet flavor. On average produces harvestable cucumbers 2.5 months from transplanting into the garden.
