This is an Asian variety of cucumber that tolerates hot summers and high humidity exceptionally well. What is very awesome about this particular variety is that every female flower is self pollinating (parthenocarpic). That means every female flower will set fruit making it perfect for growing in a green house or area lacking in pollinators. The plant produces both female and male flowers, which if cross pollinated will yield cucumbers with the usual seeds inside. If the female flower doesn't get cross pollinated, it will yield a seedless cucumber. These cucumbers are also burpless which means they have reduced levels of cucurbitacin. This reduces bitterness and reportedly the likelihood of burping. 

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.
