Cucumber variety Chinese heat resistant (F1)
Chinese heat-resistant - a hybrid of medium-early ripening cucumber from the “Chinese resistant” series of the Russian breeding and seed company Sedek (Domodedovo). Suitable for growing in open and protected (glazed and film greenhouses) ground. The period from germination to harvest of the first fruits is 48 - 54 days.
Plants are vigorous, branched, well leafy. Leaves are large, dark green in color. Formation is carried out in one stem. Plants are recommended to be placed on nets or trellises so that the cucumbers do not curl or wriggle.
Fruits are cylindrical, 30-50 cm long (maximum 70 cm), with large, often spaced tubercles. At the tip of the adult fruit, there is a thickening characteristic of this variety. The skin is thin, dark green, with short whitish stripes at the top of the cucumber. The pulp is sweetish, tender, crispy, aromatic. The seeds are soft, tasteless. Fruiting lasts until autumn frosts.
This hybrid is characterized by high productivity, resistance to drought, heat (grows well and bears fruit at temperatures up to 35 ° C), unfavorable conditions and common cucumber diseases (powdery mildew, peronosporosis, fusarium wilting).
The fruits are not prone to overgrowing and yellowing, but it is better not to delay harvesting, because over time, they lose their taste and become coarse. Stored in the refrigerator for 5 - 7 days.
The variety is salad, but it is also suitable for harvesting for the winter, if you cut the fruits into slices.
Cucumber value Chinese heat-resistant: high palatability of fresh and canned fruits, high temperature tolerance, disease resistance.
Hello. I usually really like gherkins, but I sowed this variety for experiment. Even at an early age, the plants are distinguished by unusual leaves, they are really large in size. In terms of fruiting, it can be attributed to mid-season, although these cucumbers are more salad, but very delicate in taste with a thin peel. And it turned out that they became favorites for my five-year-old son. In size they reach about 25 - 40 cm, at first they are very thin, but when they grow to a length of 15 cm, they begin to get fat. In general, they are not very suitable for preservation, but excellent for fresh food. And what is also important, this variety is resistant to diseases.
I planted this cucumber in open ground with seeds. Germination rate is 100%. They grow quickly, the lashes did not pinch and they grew in different directions. The fruits did not curl, although they grew without a trellis. an excellent replacement for your beloved Zozula, because by this time, planted in the spring, it has already disappeared. One cucumber is enough for a salad for the whole family. During the growing season she fed herbal infusion with chicken droppings. I was pleased with the variety, but the price of seeds bites.
