Product Overview
Cucumber Crystal Apple Seeds
75 seeds
An old favourite and easy-to-grow variety that produces heavy crops of small, round cucumbers. Fruits start pale green and ripen to a golden-yellow shade, with crisp, refreshing flesh. Excellent for salads, snacking, or pickling.
How To Grow
Sow seeds 12 mm deep directly into their final growing position. Place 4–5 seeds in each clump, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Space clumps 40–50 cm apart. Once plants develop 5–6 leaves, pinch out the tips to encourage side shoots and heavier cropping. Grow on the ground or provide trellis support if space is limited. Keep soil moist and enrich with organic matter and fertiliser before planting.

Important Note
These seeds may be treated with a fungicide (Thiram or Apron XL). Do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals. Fungicide treatment is an AQIS requirement for certain varieties and does not affect your crops or pollinators such as bees.
