Green cucumber-melon type that Southern Italians favor. Similar to Half-long of Puglia, except this one is completely round. This is one cucumber that doesn't really need to be grown on a trellis because the shape. Fruits are covered with the 'down' typical of melon cucumbers, which rubs off easily. Pick when green and it has a really nice cucumber taste; allow to ripen more and they turn yellow and a bit sweeter. Early, productive, with a very nice taste. Sow 5-6 seeds/hill spaced 4" apart after soil is warm in the spring (a week or two after last frost date). Thin to 3 plants per hill. Space hills at three feet and rows at six feet. 55 days. 3 gram packet = about 100 seeds. Approximately 30-45 seeds per gram. To see our growing guide for cucumbers, click here.
This seed is produced by Gianfranco Fuscello Sementi in Southern Italy

Cheri Crisp, delicious, melon cucumbers. Easy to grow. Plant was bushy at first, with tendrils appearing later. Flesh more dense than the pickling cucumbers I’ve grown in the past. My first one I picked at softball size, and the skin and the seeds were both edible
