Description

Suyo Long Cucumber is a popular Asian heirloom variety known for its extra-long, slender fruits and exceptional flavor. The dark green cucumbers can grow up to 12–18 inches in length, with tender, crisp flesh and a mild, slightly sweet taste. Its thin skin and minimal bitterness make it ideal for fresh eating, slicing, and salads, while its vigorous vines produce abundant harvests throughout the season.

• Type: Open-pollinated annual (heirloom)
• Direct sow: After last frost when soil is warm
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 12–18 inches
• Height: 5–7 feet (vining, requires trellis or support)
• Days to harvest: 60–70 days

Cucumbers thrive in warm weather and rich, well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly or transplant seedlings once temperatures are consistently warm. Provide a sturdy trellis to support the long fruits and promote straight growth. Keep soil consistently moist and harvest regularly while fruits are young and tender for the best flavor and texture. Frequent picking encourages continuous production throughout the growing season.
