Slender, early, and thin skinned Japanese style long cucumbers on vigorous plants. Plant Tasty Emperor cucumber seeds for high-yielding plants that are productive for a long period with fruits growing to 25-30cm (10-12") long. They have superb flavour and a crisp, crunchy flesh. Be sure to trellis the vines for straighter fruits. Grow cucumbers in rich, fertile soil that is kept moderately moist throughout the season. We recommend using an handful of Complete Organic Fertilizer, worked into the soil at transplant time. Keep plants well picked for better production. Try to water the soil only, keeping the leaves as dry as possible.
Matures in 65 days. (Hybrid seeds)
