The General Cucumber
Our best-tasting slicer.
Though bred for the South, The General has also performed well in our Maine trials. Dark fruits with white spines are uniform, attractive, and average 8–8 1/2" long. Flavor is superior to most modern American slicing varieties. The gynoecious plants have a high yield potential. NOTE: This variety is gynoecious, which means it will not produce the male flowers required for pollination. Seeds of a pollenizer variety have been mixed into the seed packet at a rate of 10%. As such, it is necessary to plant all seeds in the packet to produce cucumber fruits. Also available treated.
Disease Resistance:
Cucumber Mosaic Virus (Intermediate)
Powdery Mildew (Intermediate)
Scab (High)
