Approved for use in the Central (Ivanovo, Moscow, Vladimir, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tula, Bryansk, Kaluga regions) and Central Black Earth (Voronezh, Oryol, Kursk, Tambov, Belgorod, Lipetsk regions) regions. Recommended for growing in private garden plots. Suitable for open ground and film tunnels.
Plants are indeterminate, medium-growing, mainly of the female flowering type; branching of lateral shoots is moderate. The leaves are green, medium and large. The fruits are tied gradually along the entire length of the shoot.
Fruits are fusiform, with large tubercles, short (6 - 11 cm), weighing 60 - 80 grams. The skin is green with medium-length white stripes. Pubescence is of medium density. The thorns are black. The pulp without voids, with excellent taste, does not taste bitter. The yield of marketable fruits is 2.5 - 4 kg / sq. Meter, or 101 - 303 c / ha, which is 19 - 79 c / ha lower than the standard grades of Grace and Druzhina. The output of marketable products is low - 63 - 84%. Daily collection of Zelents is required. Fruiting is uniform throughout the growing season.

A universal variety - used fresh, salads and canning. Of course, due to its high taste, fruit size, as well as dense crispy pulp, this cucumber is most valued in pickles and pickles.
Advantages of this variety: early maturity, excellent taste of the fruit, ideal for canning.
Overgrown fruits
The disadvantages include the rapid overgrowth (casking) of the fruit. Therefore, if you rarely appear in the country or you do not have time to pick cucumbers in a timely manner, it is better to take a closer look at other varieties and hybrids.
On the market, the Parisian gherkin cucumber, in addition to the Poisk company, is produced by many other companies (Sedek, Gavrish, Russian vegetable garden, Our garden, etc.), therefore, the external characteristics of zelents may differ.
Delicious cucumbers!
I sow this variety all the time. I really like it for seaming, the main thing is not to let it overgrow, but overgrown barrels go well for salting in a barrel, the main thing is that they are not yellowed. It is these cucumbers that I salted into the barrel, since they have black thorns, and this is the main sign for salting, it is these that remain firm in the barrel and do not turn sour. In the Parisian gherkin, many ovaries are formed, there are very few barren flowers, the fruits grow together and are approximately the same size. It bushes well and is not afraid of powdery mildew. I do not tie it up, it braids the arms of the mini-greenhouse well itself to a height of no higher than 50 cm.
My favorite variety. Delicious cucumbers. Bright green, crunchy, aromatic, ripen together.They have no bitter taste. Same size as pick. They are very good both fresh and lightly salted, pickled, salted. I plant them at intervals of two weeks, and until late autumn we are with cucumbers. We make them with horseradish and garlic. Real jam.
