Armenian Cucumber

Cucumber

Cucumis melo

Overview
Armenian Cucumber is a unique hybrid variety that produces slender, ribbed fruits resembling traditional cucumbers but with a distinctly smoother, elongated appearance. Maturing in 75 days, it develops 10-12 inch fruits with tender, edible skin that requires no peeling. The defining characteristic is its exceptional mild, sweet flavor with complete absence of bitterness, making it ideal for fresh eating and salads. Unlike standard cucumbers, Armenian Cucumber tolerates heat stress well and produces abundantly in warm climates, while remaining crisp and tender when harvested at peak ripeness.
