AnnualDeveloped specially by the National Pickle Packers Association, this variety was made to fit perfectly into a pickle jar! This variety produces an abundance of 5-7 inch cucumbers. Eat them fresh, in salads, or juiced. When turned into dill or bread and butter pickles (wedged or whole), their flavor and crunch are out of this world. Low on seeds, and what seeds are produced are small and don't affect the texture. The cucumber is very tolerant to powdery mildew, but not resistant to it, the national pickling cucumber is far more “resistant” than almost any other pickling variety!
Very productive and grow well. My dry hot climate is normally too much for cucumbers.
Great germination. Plant produces a ton of blooms, but doesn't set a lot cucumbers at the same time. I waould suggest planting several plants if you plan on pickling the same day you pick.
Short, fat, bumpy, and perfectly quartered to fit in quart Mason jars. great producers as well, and even the suckers are pumping out cukes.
This is my second year with these cucumbers. Last year I let them get a little large and ate them in salads...wonderful. This year I'm picking them on the smaller size and plan on making pickles. The plants are LOADED with flowers and I picked my first one today. I like that these can be used any way you want. Can't wait to start canning!
If you are looking for a big crunchy cucumber that is great for pickling, this is it! These make the perfect size spears for my quart jars.
