Originating in Southeast Asia, the Suyo Long cucumber is a traditional Chinese variety long cultivated for its long, slender, light green, speckled fruits. In the garden, it embodies freshness and summer elegance with its climbing habit and rapid growth.

With its slender, crisp, and very sweet fruits, this cucumber charms as much with its delicate flavor as with its exotic appearance. It proves a generous choice for gardeners exploring less common varieties, bringing diversity and originality to the vegetable garden.

This vigorous variety thrives on supports or trellises, thus optimizing growing space. It also adds an aesthetic and flavorful touch, ideal for bringing freshness to the kitchen during hot summer days.

    Note: Sensitive to excessive moisture and frost, requires staking to facilitate growth.
